CATEGORY QUESTIONS

Questions to resolve before commitment.

Can FITZP review a drawing?

A drawing can anchor supplier discussions, subject to clear revision and application context.

Are tolerances assumed?

No. Relevant tolerances should be stated and confirmed before commitment.

Can a trial quantity be discussed?

Trial and production quantity options depend on the confirmed capability and setup basis.

Does sourcing replace engineering approval?

No. Required engineering, regulatory or safety approval remains with the qualified responsible party.
