What to verify before selling
Technical file
Drawing revision, tolerance, material and surface requirements.
Measurement evidence
Control plan, inspection report, gauge capability and sample approval.
Capacity
Machine park, shifts, critical processes and bottleneck visibility.
Change control
Engineering change, deviation approval and document traceability.
Cost structure
Setup, tooling, sampling, series price and material variability.

Questions to answer in market discussions
- 01
Is the buyer looking for a part supplier or a co-engineering capability?
- 02
Which documents support initial-sample and series approval?
- 03
How will annual demand, batch size and delivery calls be planned?
- 04
How are tooling, fixtures and intellectual-property ownership defined?
05
OEM, distribution and aftermarket are not the same channel
Order logic, evidence, pricing and service duties change by channel. Use this framework before buyer discussions.
OEM / Tier
Drawing revision, sampling and repeatable series production are decisive.
Distributor
Standard-part portfolio, technical selling and local stock are decisive.
Aftermarket / service
Downtime, reverse-engineering boundary and urgent production are decisive.
| Decision dimension | OEM / Tier | Distributor | Aftermarket / service |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales cycle | Long; technical and commercial approval gates | Medium; product, territory and margin negotiation | Short–medium; availability and fast technical matching |
| Order structure | Scheduled, call-off or project/series | Stock replenishment and mixed-product orders | Low quantity, high variety and urgent demand |
| Core evidence | PPAP/sample, process, capacity and traceability | Catalogue, references, price, stock and delivery performance | Correct match, warranty, technical support and availability |
| Pricing logic | Target cost, annual volume, productivity and revision | Channel margin, discount, territory and sales target | Service margin, small pack, speed and return risk |
| Stock duty | Call-off plan and safety stock by contract | Local stock often at distributor; terms in writing | Fast-moving SKU and regional reach are critical |
| Main risk | Price pressure and capacity commitment after long approval | Exclusivity, channel conflict and slow stock | Wrong part, returns, warranty and reputation |
