RFQ resources / Manufacturing conversations
Use this checklist to organize the drawings, materials, quantities and delivery requirements for a custom project, repeat order or dedicated production program.
01 / Product
Describe the part or assembly, how it will be used and the requirements that determine its fit and performance.
02 / Files
Send the files that make the design intent clear so the manufacturing path can be scoped accurately.
03 / Output
Clarify the immediate order and the volume or cadence the program may require after the first run.
04 / Finish
Finishing and delivery decisions can shape the process, so bring them into the conversation early.
DSM reviews your package to define the manufacturing scope and the information needed for quoting.
Yes. Send the information you have and flag open items. A useful initial review can identify what is missing; a confirmed production scope may require additional drawings or specifications.
Identify the governing revision, part numbers and quantities, and include the relevant bill of materials. Clearly separate superseded drawings from the current package.
Yes. Distinguish the first order from forecast demand, then include release timing, packaging, finish and destination requirements. These can change the manufacturing approach. Review production planning.
Start with the information you have
Send your drawings, quantities, materials, and required timing.
