01 / FILE ROUTE

One restrained path from requirement to review.

FILE 01

FILE 02

Commercial context

State quantity, destination, target timing and the intended submission stage without treating them as accepted production commitments.

FILE 03

Evidence request

Name the inspection, material, process or first-article records actually required by the purchase documents and approval path.

Put the decision fields in one package.

03 / RESPONSIBILITY

Keep product authority and supplier scope separate.

Customer or design authority

Owns product design, drawing and model authority, material and process requirements, tolerance, acceptance criteria, intended use and approval decisions.

Quotation-specific supplier scope

Exists only after the actual part, requirements and requested records have been reviewed and confirmed in writing.

This public site

Explains enquiry and documentation structure. It does not claim a certification, capacity, tolerance, price, customer result or production capability.

04 / CURRENT RESOURCE

Prepare the first-article evidence before release.

The first published guide separates the customer requirement set, supplier first-article record and ongoing production controls.
