What you can expect

  • One owner from start to samples— a named project engineer who coordinates everything and keeps you informed. 
  • Straightforward plan— we agree milestones, responsibilities and dates at kick-off, then hold to them. 
  • No surprises— pricing and scope are documented up front; any changes are discussed and confirmed before action. 
  • Right-first-time mindset— DFM/DFA recommendations before steel is cut to reduce iterations and delays. 
  • Easy acceptance— clear buy-off criteria for samples so approval is quick and unambiguous.

Typical timelines (guide; part complexity dependent)

  • Quote:within 3 business days for standard RFQs 
  • DFM/DFA pack: 5–10 working days from PO 
  • T0 tool trial: typically 3–4 weeks from PO 
  • T1 samples: typically 4–6 weeks from PO (CMM report supplied) 
  • PPAP/ISIR: available on request; typically 6–8+ weeks from PO 

We’ll confirm a programme-specific schedule at kick-off.

Quality & documentation you receive

  • CMM report with T1 samples (and capability data/PPAP if specified) 
  • Material and heat-treat certificates for major tool components 
  • Buy-off / prove-out report with any agreed actions 
  • Change & revision log so decisions are recorded and traceable 

Communication & updates

  • Single point of contact (named engineer + deputy) 
  • Milestone reviews at agreed gates (e.g., DFM sign-off, T0, T1) 
  • Fast escalation— if a risk appears, we flag it early with options
