PROJECT WORKFLOW
From drawing review to delivery—a clear custom manufacturing workflow.
Each stage connects customer inputs, engineering decisions, approval points and production outputs. This helps procurement and engineering teams understand what is required before quotation, sampling and volume production.
REQUIREMENTS TO DELIVERY
Six stages from requirements to delivery
The exact sequence varies by process, tooling needs and validation requirements. These six stages provide a practical framework for defining responsibilities and approval gates.
Requirements submission
Build a complete RFQ package and identify open technical questions.
Customer inputs
- Drawing or physical sample
- Material and applicable standard
- Critical dimensions and tolerances
- Quantity, annual demand and application
- Surface finish and delivery destination
Tianluping actions
- Review information completeness
- Clarify missing or conflicting requirements
- Identify critical characteristics and project assumptions
Expected outputs
- Defined RFQ scope
- List of technical questions
- Information basis for engineering review
Engineering review
Evaluate manufacturability and select a practical production route.
Customer inputs
- Current drawing revision
- Functional and appearance requirements
- Applicable standards and acceptance criteria
Tianluping actions
- Review geometry, material, tolerances and volume
- Evaluate process and tooling options
- Identify secondary operations and inspection needs
Expected outputs
- Manufacturability feedback
- Proposed process and tooling route
- Confirmed assumptions for quotation
Quotation & project plan
Define the commercial and technical scope before project approval.
Customer inputs
- Sample and production quantities
- Delivery location and commercial requirements
- Required quality documents and approval process
Tianluping actions
- Prepare quotation scope and pricing basis
- Define tooling, sampling and production assumptions
- Identify exclusions, options and estimated schedule
Expected outputs
- Quotation package
- Proposed project route
- Clear inclusions, assumptions and approval points
Tooling & sampling
Create the production basis and validate samples before volume release.
Customer inputs
- Quotation and tooling approval
- Sample quantity and validation criteria
- Tooling ownership and marking requirements
Tianluping actions
- Develop or prepare the required tooling
- Manufacture and inspect samples
- Provide the quality records agreed for approval
Expected outputs
- Tooling and sample batch
- Agreed inspection evidence
- Customer feedback and approval actions
Production launch
Release the approved requirements into controlled production.
Customer inputs
- Sample approval or agreed release decision
- Purchase order or production forecast
- Final packaging and delivery requirements
Tianluping actions
- Confirm the production basis and current revision
- Schedule manufacturing and required secondary operations
- Apply the agreed process and inspection controls
Expected outputs
- Approved production basis
- Production and batch status
- Documented changes or open actions
Inspection & delivery
Review the agreed acceptance requirements before shipment.
Customer inputs
- Final documentation requirements
- Packaging, labeling and shipping instructions
- Delivery terms and destination details
Tianluping actions
- Complete agreed final inspection
- Prepare required project records
- Coordinate packaging and delivery release
Expected outputs
- Shipment released against agreed requirements
- Required inspection and delivery documents
- Batch reference where specified for the project
PROJECT RESPONSIBILITIES
Clear inputs reduce quotation gaps and project delays
A complete RFQ and documented approval points help both teams evaluate feasibility, cost and production risk using the same information.
Customer prepares
- Current drawing, 3D file or representative sample
- Material grade and applicable standard
- Critical dimensions, tolerances and functional requirements
- Order quantity, annual demand and target timing
- Surface finish, inspection records and packaging needs
- Application, destination and delivery terms
Tianluping reviews
- Review manufacturability and clarify missing information
- Recommend the process, tooling and secondary operations
- Define quotation assumptions and project approval points
- Coordinate tooling, sampling and production release
- Apply agreed inspection and documentation requirements
- Communicate open actions, changes and delivery status
REVISION & CHANGE CONTROL
Drawing changes are reviewed before they enter production
A revised drawing can affect tooling, material, machining, inspection, cost and schedule. The current revision and change scope should therefore be identified, reviewed and confirmed before the updated requirement is released to production.
START WITH A COMPLETE RFQ
Ready to review a drawing or physical sample?
Share the material, dimensions, tolerances, quantity, application and delivery requirements. The team can then review the manufacturing route and open technical questions before quotation.
