Independent China sourcing desk Prepare a buyer brief

Procurement workflow

Mevotech sourcing services

Independent coordination for comparing suppliers, reviewing samples and preparing wheel-end shipments.

01

Start with a product line

Use a hub assembly or bearing reference to define the quote unit. Keep fasteners, clips, sensor leads and replacement parts on separate lines when their scope differs.

Four decision points

From brief to shipment

  1. 01

    Clarify

    Use the drawing or application record to mark the axle, flange and ABS interface. Put unresolved revisions on hold.

  2. 02

    Compare

    Record currency, quote validity, MOQ, packaging and the named Incoterm against each SKU. A single supplier keeps pack-out consistent; separate suppliers may cover more references and need an agreed consolidation record.

  3. 03

    Verify

    Agree the sample reference, inspection points and method before a third party reviews parts. Return exceptions for buyer disposition.

  4. 04

    Coordinate

    Reconcile cartons, labels and quantities with supplier packing documents before handing off to the buyer’s freight provider.

Evidence matrix

Records to review before commitment

Supplier

Identity record

Match the quotation entity and facility named in the documents. Record mismatches as open questions.

Supplier

Document scope

Match the report’s SKU, revision and market scope. An ISO or IATF system certificate has a separate purpose from product approval.

Third party

Sample check

For a flange or runout check, request the datum, measurement method, tool and observed result against the agreed drawing.

Third party

Inspection exceptions

Attach findings to the inspected lot and record the quantity checked. Clarify whether a recheck covers the affected lot.

Buyer

Reference approval

Record the approved sample and its revision. Revisit fitment when the supplier proposes a different seal, encoder or lead.

Buyer

Release decision

Release against the accepted quantity, documentation and packing scope. Settle unresolved deviations before authorizing shipment.
