Service Review
This is not just order taking. The delivery boundary is reviewed first
Before quoting, buyers need to know what will be checked, what affects quote and lead time, and what confirmation they will receive.
Review the packet
Check geometry, material, tolerance, finish, quantity, and deadline before pricing.
Split the process path
Review machines, fixtures, tooling, outsourced finish, inspection, and packaging.
Return quote boundary
Separate price and lead-time drivers so the buyer can decide internally.
The 3 decisions buyers need
Project Notes
Finishing affects dimension, appearance, corrosion resistance, and assembly. Masking and acceptance standards should be defined early.
We suggest options based on material, use environment, and cost target.
Service Scope
Clarify scope, quote assumptions, and acceptance evidence first
Many buyers know they need CNC or sheet metal, but not which conditions affect price, lead time, and acceptance. This console splits the service into four decision boundaries so real RFQs become easier to send.
Drawing Review
Confirm whether the RFQ packet can support pricing
Check 3D and 2D consistency, then flag thin walls, deep pockets, datums, tolerances, assembly risks, and cosmetic faces.
- 3D / 2D consistency
- Critical dimensions and datums
- Thin wall, pocket, chamfer, thread risks
Main quote and lead-time drivers
Cosmetic faces
Protected faces and acceptable tool marks should be confirmed.
Color consistency
Anodizing, powder coat, and plating depend on material and batch.
Coating thickness
Film thickness affects holes, threads, fits, and assembly.
Masking protection
Threads, conductive faces, and sealing faces may need masking.
Fit
Best way to move forward
- Aluminum anodizing, blasting, brushing
- Sheet metal powder coat, silkscreen, cosmetic parts
- Appearance standard and batch consistency needed
Risk
Cases that should not go straight to quote
- Cosmetic faces unmarked
- Color requested without sample or code
- Hole/thread coating impact unclear
What we check during drawing review
Quote Communication Table
| Item | Price Impact | Lead-Time Impact | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cosmetic face | Manual protection and rework | Confirmation cycle | Mark A-surface on drawing |
| Color | Sample and batch cost | Sample approval | Provide code or sample |
| Film thickness | Masking and checking | Outsource timing | Mark fitting holes and threads |
| Quantity | Batch consistency | Scheduling | Process key parts in same batch |

After Review
What the buyer should receive after review
A useful reply is not only a price. It should separate risk, lead-time logic, and delivery boundary so the buyer can move internally.
What To Send
Send these items together for faster review
Incomplete data can still start a discussion, but complete RFQ data makes pricing faster and clearer.
- Provide color sample or code
- Mark cosmetic surfaces
- Confirm film thickness needs
