Quality verification around your order

Inspection & documentation

1. Identify the part and sourcing requirements
2. Agree on inspection and documents
3. Review the delivery against the order

Before you confirm an order

1. Confirm the complete manufacturer part number, suffix, package and temperature grade.
2. Confirm quantity, condition, date code and lot requirements; request batch-specific photographs.
3. Agree on source documents and the inspection method, sample size and acceptance criteria.
4. Confirm availability, lead time, quotation validity, currency and shipping terms in writing.
5. Evaluate alternatives against the manufacturer datasheet; engineering approval is required before substitution.
6. Keep the quotation, order, labels and inspection records together for receiving checks.

Documents for your specific batch

For a sourcing review, request the available source records, batch label photographs and inspection documents. Check the issuer, scope, lot reference and date of each record, and match them to the parts being supplied. Use catalogue images for identification and batch photographs for receiving checks.

Confirm availability, origin, minimum order quantity and delivery dates against the quotation and supporting documents. Check the issuer and scope of any authorization or certificate relevant to the order.
