Factory RFQ Review
What Happens Inside a Factory After You Send a Custom Parts RFQ?
This article explains the factory-side process after an RFQ is received. It is different from the RFQ preparation guide because it focuses on internal review steps.
Step 1: Information Check
- The engineering or sales team confirms whether the RFQ includes drawings, CAD files, material, finish, quantity and delivery requirements.
- If key information is missing, the factory may ask clarification before quoting.
Step 2: Technical Review
- Engineering reviews geometry, tolerances, material, process route, tooling or fixture needs and inspection feasibility.
- For complex parts, multiple processes may be compared before quotation.
Step 3: Cost And Lead Time Review
- The factory estimates material cost, processing time, setup, finishing, inspection, packaging and production schedule.
- Batch quantity and annual demand affect the recommended route and unit cost.
Step 4: Risk And Assumption Confirmation
For buyer preparation before this stage, read the complete RFQ package guide.

Quick Answer
The practical answer depends on the part function, material, quantity, tolerance, finishing and inspection requirements. A factory review before production helps convert those requirements into a controlled process.
Buyer Checklist
- Define the part function and critical features.
- Confirm material, quantity, tolerance and finish.
- Agree sample approval and inspection standards.
- Record packaging and shipment requirements.
