Frequently Asked Questions
OEM program FAQ
01What’s your typical RFQ response time?
3 business days for a fully costed quote with print / DFM feedback. Same-day budgetary quote for qualified opportunities.
02Do you support VA / VE cost-down programs?
Yes — we run a dedicated VA/VE engineer on staff and submit 2-3 cost-reduction ideas per program per year, with PPAP-level proposals including material, process or design changes.
03How do you handle engineering changes?
Structured PCN: we log your change request, run a redlined BOM / drawing, quote delta, and freeze existing WIP. Nothing moves without your buyer’s sign-off.
04Are you a first-tier supplier for any OEMs today?
Yes — we’re currently a Tier-1 supplier to several North American and European OEMs in appliance, agricultural and specialty automotive. Reference list under NDA.
