Tooling, samples & first article

Samples and first article inspection approved before the batch runs, with tooling ownership written into the order.

This is where most sourcing problems are created — and where they can still be fixed cheaply.

Tooling and fixture ownership stated in the purchase order: who owns it, where it is stored, who may use it
Sample plan agreed before tooling starts
First article inspection report against your drawing, with photographs
Revisions tracked with revision numbers on the drawing

Nothing enters batch production until the first article is signed off — by you, not by us.
