Part definition
Name model and drawing revision, units and governing requirements. Record approved manufacturability changes rather than relying on an informal model.
PARTNER-SUPPORTED MANUFACTURING / MOLDING RELEASE
Molding production. Release a configuration, not an old sample photo.
Connect the accepted part to its tool, exact resin and surface state. Define the variant mix, delivery evidence and the changes that require review before an initial or repeat production release.
KeepWin coordinates partner-supported review. Exact material, responsible operations, process availability, dimensions, inspection, commercial quantities and timing are confirmed in the project proposal; no universal capability or certification is promised.
Generated enclosure design study, not a sampled production part, measured inspection result or verified molding facility.

ScopeCavities, variants and acceptance
ReleaseEvidence, changes and delivery
01 / RELEASE READINESS
Resolve what is approved and what remains open.
A dimensional, cosmetic or assembly sample may have different limits. Identify the production configuration it actually represents.
Tool and cavities
Confirm tool configuration and relevant cavity scope. A sample from one output does not automatically approve every cavity or later modification.
Material and final state
Control grade, color, appearance and secondary work. Material-family names or an old photograph should not silently authorize substitutions.
02 / CONFIGURATION
Keep part, tool and resin changes connected.
A change can affect more than one item in the release. Make approval responsibilities and the effect on prior evidence explicit.
Revision link
Identify the accepted geometry and tool basis for the order. Confirm the records available to connect the sample and delivery to that definition.
Variant matrix
List colors, materials, quantities and matched components. Separate forecast demand from confirmed release quantities.
Permitted alternatives
State which materials or operations may vary and which require approval. Review the consequences for fit, appearance and application evidence.
Change triggers
Tool repair, cavity changes, resin substitution or revised secondary work may need review. Define the approval owner and evidence required for the changed scope.
03 / ORDER STAGES
Separate development samples, initial release and repeats.
These stages support different procurement decisions and may need different hold points. State what each one represents.
| Stage | Purpose | Release condition |
|---|---|---|
| Development | Resolve design, fit or appearance. | Document limitations and remaining questions. |
| Initial production | Evaluate the actual offered configuration. | Agree part/cavity sample selection and evidence. |
| Repeat lot | Deliver the approved definition. | Confirm changes and lot acceptance. |
| Revised order | Release a changed configuration. | Review earlier evidence and new checks. |
04 / RESPONSIBILITIES
Agree tooling and operation ownership for the repeat route.
Molding, secondary work and delivery records may involve different responsible operations. Keep the partner-supported handoffs visible.
Supplied tooling-storage reference. It is not this order tool, an inventory count or evidence of a particular tool-life or maintenance program.
Tool terms
Confirm ownership, storage, maintenance and change responsibilities. Universal transfer terms, service life and availability are not assumed.
Operation chain
Identify molding, insert work, marking, finish or assembly included in the offer. State which records are requested from each responsible operation.
Identity and segregation
Specify part numbers, revisions, colors and relevant lot linkage. Confirm available identification and segregation for variants.
Exceptions
Agree how nonconformances, shortages or substitutions are reviewed and accepted. A shipping record is not automatic approval of an altered requirement.
05 / LOT ACCEPTANCE
Define quantities, features and evidence for the delivery.
All-piece checks, sampling and a first-article report have different scopes. None is included by default from the word production.
| Area | Agree | Connect to |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | Features, datums, state and methods. | Controlled part and cavity scope. |
| Sampling | Quantities and selection basis. | Delivery and variant identity. |
| Appearance | Reference, marks and viewing conditions. | Exact resin, color and surface state. |
| Records | Material, processing and report requirements. | Named supply and responsible operations. |
06 / COMMERCIAL RELEASE
Quote the approved route and the defined delivery scope.
Unit price is meaningful when the resin, tool, quantities, operations and evidence match the comparison.
Full order brief
Send approved files, sample record, exact resin, tool/cavity scope, quantities and variants, secondary work, destination and target milestones.
Breakdown
Ask for setup, tooling changes, samples, molding, secondary work, inspection, records, packing and transport where relevant.
Schedule basis
Confirm the approval that starts production and what depends on material, tool or evidence availability. MOQ, capacity and timing remain proposal-specific.
07 / QUESTIONS
Before releasing repeat molding.
Control the definition and the change rules alongside the quantity.
Does a prototype approve production?
Only within an explicit scope. Confirm the actual tool, material, surface state and production evidence before release.
Can the resin or color change on repeat orders?
Review its effect on processing, fit, appearance and applicable evidence before approving the change.
Are all cavities and parts inspected?
No default scope is promised. Agree cavity identity, quantities, features, methods and records.
Is tool availability guaranteed for every repeat?
No. Confirm storage, maintenance, responsible route and availability under the actual proposal.
What defines the repeat delivery?
Controlled files, resin and tool scope, variant quantities, secondary work, lot acceptance, identity and packaging.
PREPARE THE NEXT DECISION
Send the approved production definition.
Include controlled files, exact resin, tool and cavity scope, sample record, variants and quantities, secondary operations, reports, packaging and destination.
