Define Acceptance Before Inspection Begins
Quality coordination works best when drawings, tolerances, finishes, samples, packing, and reporting expectations are agreed before production.
What you provide
Clear inputs keep the scope practical and reduce hidden assumptions.
- Approved drawings and specification
- Reference or approved sample
- Critical-to-quality checkpoints
- Quantity, packing, and reporting scope
What the workflow produces
Outputs organize decisions; they do not replace buyer or supplier responsibility.
- Inspection checklist
- Photo and measurement record
- Non-conformance notes
- Buyer decision points
