Manufacturing RFQ, not trading noise

Manufacturing RFQ management from request to approved order.

I build RFQ workflows that keep customer requests, BOM checks, lead times, supplier inputs, revisions, margin approvals and order handoff in one auditable process.

State machine

Request -> qualification -> technical review -> supplier or BOM check -> quote draft -> margin approval -> customer revision -> approved order.

RFQ intake

Capture customer, part, drawing, quantity break, deadline, target price and technical notes before work starts.

Approval control

Route discounts, margins, unusual terms and delivery risk to the right approver with a visible audit trail.

Order handoff

Convert approved quotes into ERP-ready order data instead of retyping line items and losing revision context.

Scope decisions that prevent expensive rework

  • Customer RFQ vs supplier RFQ separation
  • BOM and lead-time check ownership
  • Margin approval matrix by product, value and risk
  • Quote revision rules and expiration
  • CRM account and ERP item ownership
  • Export/API contract for approved orders

Proof before build approval

The first deliverable should include a process diagram, approval matrix, sample RFQ payload and acceptance criteria for each quote state.
