Quality and commercial control
From RFQ review to export dispatch
The process begins with a technical review of the drawing, standard and required quantity. Material and manufacturing route are then considered against the requested grade, geometry, tolerance and finish. Inspection, documentation, marking, packaging and dispatch requirements are agreed before production rather than assumed after the parts are made.
For repeat requirements, quote and purchase documents should retain the same drawing revision and acceptance criteria. When a revision changes, the changed dimensions or clauses should be identified clearly. This provides a stronger basis for consistent production, batch traceability and incoming inspection at the destination.
A useful technical enquiry also explains the operating environment and the function of the component. Outdoor, marine, high-temperature, vibration, cyclic-load or corrosive service can change the required material, coating, inspection and maintenance approach. Lohar Forging reviews manufacturability against the information supplied; the buyer, designer or responsible engineer retains responsibility for final product selection, joint design, load calculations, installation method and regulatory approval.
