Procurement verification

What the procurement desk coordinates
Specification intake
We turn the brief into a line list with the required wheel bore, hub pilot or flange profile. Each row has a revision and a field for unresolved dimensions. For a 66.6 × 57.1 mm ring example, both nominal diameters and the tolerances belong on the same drawing.
Supplier and quote comparison
Quotes are compared on the same SKU, quantity tier, currency, carton basis and Incoterm named place. Separate tooling or sample charges from repeat-order unit pricing. Confirm MOQ, stock status and lead time with the quoting supplier for each line.
Sample coordination
Use the current drawing and representative mating parts as the reference. On a clip-on sample, record clip engagement and rim clearance in the buyer’s fixture or wheel. Record who performed the check and who can approve a deviation.
Inspection coordination
Agree the lot definition, inspection scope, acceptance criteria and evidence format with the buyer before booking an inspection. The inspector supplies the findings. A prior report needs a scope check when the material, supplier site or revision changes.
Shipment document review
Match carton marks, quantities and lot references to the packing list. For consolidation, compare the coverage of one supplier against the added reconciliation work for multiple suppliers. The buyer appoints its customs broker and freight carrier.
