Assess fit—not claims in isolation.
Manufacturing capability
Check whether the available process and equipment align with the component's size, geometry and manufacturing route.
Engineering review
Establish how feasibility, geometry and downstream requirements are considered before quotation and production preparation.
Quality and validation
Review documented planning, validation, measurement, process control, certifications and customer-specific requirements.
Supply readiness
Confirm the project route, responsibilities, documentation and the evidence available to procurement and supplier-quality teams.
Useful questions for an RFQ.
- What drawing, annual demand and project requirements are available?
- Which operations are performed in-house and which use specialist partners?
- What validation and approval route applies to the project?
- Which certifications and supplier documents can be verified?
- Which claims are documented—and which require project-specific confirmation?
