Procurement decision matrix
What a strong RFQ from Chicago, Illinois should answer
| Decision | What PPC needs | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Can the part be processed? | Material, dimensions, weight, geometry and photos/drawings | Determines line, batch, hanging and handling feasibility |
| What system should be used? | Exposure, specification, colour, gloss and performance targets | Drives preparation, chemistry, film build and cure |
| What must stay coating-free? | Threads, bores, contacts, mating surfaces and masking drawing | Prevents fit, grounding and assembly problems |
| How will quality be accepted? | Inspection method, tolerances, testing and documentation | Creates measurable acceptance criteria before production |
| How should the program move? | Quantity, release cadence, deadline, packaging and destination | Lets PPC plan capacity, freight and finish protection |
