Scope and handoffs

Enkei Sourcing Services

Give each supplier the same brief, compare the exceptions and agree who clears each release decision.

Coordination work

What the procurement desk can handle

Quote alignment

For a distributor comparing 17 × 8 in, ET35 offers, check whether tooling, finish samples, named handover point and packaging are quoted on the same basis.

Sample and inspection

Send the inspector the approved drawing, finish reference and intended radial runout and lateral runout datums. Ask them to record gauge method, sample count and any deviations.

Consolidation and export

Map line quantities, carton dimensions and gross weights to each supplier before planning mixed-container loading. Ask the buyer and forwarder to agree the document and handover responsibilities.

Working sequence

Four decisions from drawing to packing list

  1. Clarify

    Record bolt pattern, wheel offset (ET), center bore and wheel load rating.

  2. Compare

    Align scope, line MOQ, sample cost and Incoterm. A stocked SKU still needs written availability confirmation.

  3. Review

    A custom SKU adds drawing and sample approvals. Resolve differences in finish, lug-seat geometry and brake clearance before ordering.

  4. Hand off

    Match the approved SKU and label revision to cartons and supplier documents before the forwarder takes custody.

Keep the release decision with the buyer

Enkei coordinates reviews. The supplier provides production and product records, the inspector records findings, and the buyer decides whether an exception is acceptable. The forwarder and broker handle contracted transport and customs steps.
