RFQ Preparation

Ball Screw RFQ Plan: From Sample to Batch Order

Sample and batch orders are quoted differently, so the RFQ should state testing plan, first order, and later replenishment rhythm early.

FAQ

Should sample price and batch price be the same? Not always. Batch quantity, labels, packing, and replenishment rhythm can change cost. For repeat supply, see how to send a repeat ball screw order RFQ list.

When should I discuss monthly quantity? Discuss it before the first order if repeat supply is likely, so production and pricing can be planned earlier.
