Specification review
Identify PCD, wheel offset, center bore and rim width against the buyer drawing. Capture brake clearance, load rating and finish separately.
Compare supplier offers on the same specification, evidence and delivery basis.
Start with your wheel briefIdentify PCD, wheel offset, center bore and rim width against the buyer drawing. Capture brake clearance, load rating and finish separately.
Normalize unit price and MOQ by SKU, finish, pack count and named Incoterm location. Separate tooling and samples so a lower unit price does not hide upfront costs.
Agree on sample revision, radial runout, lateral runout and the finish reference before sending the checklist to the inspection provider.
Reconcile mixed-container loading quantities with the pack list, carton marks and route. The freight provider handles carriage and the appointed broker handles customs.
Use the documents to find mismatched scope before authorizing a purchase order.
Lock the revision, reference geometry and acceptance tolerances.
Record whether the fitment uses an existing mold or requires a new one. Existing tooling may simplify repeat orders, while custom tooling can cover a geometry the existing mold misses.
Keep the supplier’s IATF 16949 or ISO 9001 site scope separate from the test report or approval required for the exact SKU and market.
Match sample approval, carton labels and dispatch quantities. Delivery dates remain supplier- and route-specific until confirmed.
Send the drawing revision, requested quantity and quote basis with your brief.
