https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wSS3CR3VCU

Objective

To ensure that the scope of work in the Request for Quotation (RFQ) accurately reflects the specifications and requirements of the part, minimizing errors and misunderstandings during the manufacturing process

Key Steps

1. Access the Scope of Work and ICP:

   • Navigate to the SoW and ITP tabs

2. Verify Data Entry:

   • Check that the scope of work has been correctly entered by the Intellectual Property (IP) owner. This data should be directly taken from the part specifications

3. Assess Need for Changes:

   • Determine if any adjustments are necessary. If the specifications are accurate, no changes are needed. If changes are required, proceed to the next step

4. Edit Specifications:

   • If changes are necessary, modify the relevant fields

   • Indicate whether specific requirements are mandatory or optional for the manufacturer

5. Review Quality Control Tests:

   • Check the Inspection Test Plan (ITP) for the quality control tests that the manufacturer must complete

   • Make any necessary edits to the ITP, ensuring that all required tests are listed accurately

6. Save Changes:

   • After making all necessary adjustments, ensure that you save the updated scope of work in the ICP

7. Confirm Changes with Team:

   • Communicate any changes made to the team members involved in the RFQ process to ensure everyone is aligned

Cautionary Notes

• Ensure that all edits made to the scope of work are justified and necessary to avoid confusion later in the manufacturing process

• Double-check that the changes made do not conflict with the original specifications provided by the IP owner

Tips for Efficiency

• Keep a checklist of common specifications and requirements to streamline the review process

• Regularly communicate with the IP owner and other stakeholders to clarify any uncertainties before making changes
