Preparing a new object for production
Coordinate specifications and samples, record the approval and confirm packaging, quantities and milestones with the supplier.
Home & Objects
Consider the object all the way to delivery.
Dimensions, finishes and packaging influence both production and handling. We can coordinate the specifications, supplier communication and delivery requirements around the actual product.
Operating considerations
Plan around the product.
- Materials and approved finishes
- A sample may need to capture dimensions, finish, tolerance and packaging as well as appearance. Record what has been accepted and what still requires a decision.
- Protection through handling
- Fragility, weight and carton dimensions can affect storage and dispatch. Agree packaging and handling requirements with the supplier and the qualified handling provider.
- Sets, components and replacements
- A product may ship as a set or require separate replacement parts. Define the stock records, packing instructions and replenishment responsibility for each component.
Working together
Make the handoffs clear.
Examples of how an agreed scope can connect requirements, providers and the next decision.
Preparing stock for delivery
Give the receiving provider the product and carton information. Coordinate the handling instruction, order profile and any replacement or return process.
