03 / Process
Fewer assumptions.
A better handover.
A proposed project sequence for this fictional workshop, with an explicit decision at every stage.
- 01
INPUT / CONTEXT
Frame the requirement.
Describe the application, quantity and target date. Identify drawing revisions and any unresolved design questions.
Decision: Is there enough information to assess the enquiry?
- 02
REVIEW / FEASIBILITY
Find the constraints.
Review geometry, material and inspection needs. Document proposed changes rather than silently modifying critical requirements.
Decision: Which changes require design-owner approval?
- 03
AGREEMENT / RELEASE
Make the scope explicit.
A real quotation would define price, lead time, revision, finish and acceptance criteria. No indicative price or guaranteed lead time is offered here.
Decision: Has the authorised owner approved the manufacturing release?
- 04
HANDOVER / RECORD
Keep the record useful.
Confirm what was supplied and the agreed inspection record. Capture feedback against the correct revision before discussing a repeat order.
Decision: Is the part accepted, or does a documented issue need resolution?
