Second source
Assess an alternative solution without assuming that the mould can be transferred.
Do you already have a mould or a new idea?Choose where to start →Pathway 01
Before moving a mould, we verify whether it can be used in our production environment.
A transfer or the introduction of a second source requires technical and organisational review. We start with the essential information to safeguard continuity, quality and timing.
Simulate the preliminary enquiryWhen it may be useful
A review designed to reduce transfer risk.
This pathway is intended for companies that own or manage a mould and are considering production continuity, a second source or a different supply arrangement.
Continuity
Examine an additional production route when continuity of supply is a priority.
Transfer
Prepare the transfer using shared data, checks and criteria before moving the tooling.
Preliminary pathway
Five steps, no shortcuts.
The process is a working framework. Timing and conditions are defined only for the actual project.
Objective
We clarify whether you are looking for a second source, a transfer or greater production continuity.
Preliminary information
We gather the essential information about the mould, the existing part, quantities and location.
Technical review
We assess compatibility within our normal operating scope before discussing a quotation.
Sampling
If the pathway proceeds, we define the trials and acceptance criteria to be agreed.
Production start-up
Terms and steps towards production are defined only after the review has been completed.
Initial information
What is needed for the initial discussion.
- Objective of the transfer or second-source arrangement
- Mould availability and ownership to be confirmed
- Indicative information about the mould and existing part
- Material and expected annual quantities
- Current location of the tooling
- Desired timing for a potential first batch
No confidential files in the initial enquiry.
Drawings, photographs and technical documents may be requested after the initial human assessment and through an agreed channel.
