How to distinguish between FFU manufacturers and trading suppliers? Procurement Checklist

To distinguish between FFU manufacturers and trading suppliers, you can't just look at the business scope on the business license, nor just how the other party introduces themselves. An effective approach is to match the contract signing entity, the product nameplate and certificate issuance entity, and the site where the sheet metal and assembly processes are actually completed, and require production and inspection records that can correspond to the model and batch of this order. If the three cannot form a verifiable link, even if the other party claims to be the source factory, procurement should manage delivery risks in the same way as a trading supplier.

Match the contract subject, nameplate manufacturing subject, production address and after-sales responsibilities one by one; the sales company is different from the production company, and their cooperation or organizational relationship should be explained. Procurement can first require the supplier to fill in a main body and process description according to the model to be purchased, and then compare it with the confirmation diagram and testing data provided by the supplier.

Subject verification: Whether the contract, nameplate and invoicing point to the same manufacturing responsibility

In procurement, we must first distinguish who signs the contract, who is responsible for the product, and who issues the invoice. The three may not be the same company, but the relationship must be clearly explained.

There is no necessarily a problem if the sales company and the production factory have different names. The key is whether procurement can find a clear responsible party and be able to exert control over the manufacturing process in the event of technical confirmation, delivery date changes or quality problems.

Production verification: Can the process site and quality records correspond to the order?

To determine whether it is a manufacturer, the key is not whether there are photos of the factory, but where the key processes of this order are completed, by whom, and what records are left.

Having production capacity does not mean that all parts are manufactured by the factory. You should inquire about the source and inspection responsibility of the motor, fan, filter, controller and complete machine assembly respectively. If the control part requires joint debugging, you can view it at the same time.FFU group control system interface and point table description, including electrical boundaries for verification.

Delivery responsibility: who is responsible for testing, after-sales and spare parts

During the procurement evaluation, the above content can be written into the inquiry document, and the supplier can be asked to explain item by item who completed it, what documents it is based on, and what the response time is.

How to form executable confirmation results

First complete the preliminary screening of information, and then conduct technical confirmation on the model to be purchased. Add unclarified manufacturing, configuration and responsibility issues to a supplementary list, and organize comparisons after the supplier responds. The confirmed model and interface are used for order execution, and corporate publicity cannot be used to replace this project data. If trading suppliers are willing to clarify the actual manufacturing source and assume delivery responsibility, they can still serve as supply channels, but procurement should increase verification of the manufacturing side.

Misunderstandings to avoid

You should avoid looking at photos of a workshop and assuming that all parts are made in-house. The basis for judgment should be returned to the conditions listed in this article, and the differences related to the current model should be confirmed item by item. Business scope including production does not mean manufacturing capacity, and low price does not mean direct sales from the factory.

Related questions and answers

Must trading suppliers not be able to purchase?

Procurement can be based on project capabilities, but the actual manufacturing source, configuration control and division of responsibilities should be clear, and product quality should not be directly judged based on the type of operation.

What specific information do I need to prepare for this question?

Prepare current project information around the corresponding contract and nameplate of the subject, the process and records of production verification, and the detection and after-sales of delivery responsibilities. The manufacturing site, configuration confirmation form, and complete machine test records should correspond to the actual purchased configuration; if the catalog, confirmation drawing, and delivery record are inconsistent, the version and scope of application should be clarified first.
