1、 ESI (early supplier involvement): this stage is mainly a technical discussion between customers and suppliers on product design and mold development. The main purpose is to enable suppliers to clearly understand the design intent and accuracy requirements of product designers, and also enable product designers to better understand the mold production capacity and product quality Process performance, so as to make a more reasonable design
2. Quotation: including the price of the mold, the service life of the mold, the turnover process, the required tonnage of the machine and the delivery date of the mold. (more detailed quotation should include product size and weight, mold size and weight, etc.)
3. Purchase order: the delivery of customer orders, deposits, and the acceptance of supplier orders.
4. Production planning and schedule arrangement: at this stage, you need to reply to the customer for the specific delivery date of the mold. 5. Mold design: possible design software include Pro / Engineer, UG, Solidworks, AutoCAD, CATIA, etc.
6. Purchased materials
7. Machining: the processes involved generally include turning, Gong (milling), heat treatment, grinding, computer gong (CNC), EDM, WEDM, jig grinding, laser engraving, polishing, etc.
8. Mold assembly
9. Trial run
10. Model evaluation report (SER)
11. Ser approval
