The sourcing process

A clear next decision at every handoff.

The process is designed to make supplier capability, product quality and commercial assumptions visible before they become expensive problems.

Start with a product brief
01Brief

Define the product, target market, quantity, quality bar and commercial constraints.

02Shortlist

Research and compare suppliers against capability, fit, communication and evidence.

03Sample

Request, inspect and revise samples until the decision criteria are clear.

04Negotiate

Compare commercial terms, MOQ, tooling, packaging, payment and lead time.

05Produce

Track the approved specification, milestone dates and exceptions.

06Inspect

Check the agreed scope before release and document the result.

07Consolidate

Coordinate finished orders, export documents and the next handoff.

What changes the plan

New information should reopen the right decision, not the entire project.

Product changes can alter supplier fit, sample requirements, compliance, packaging, inspection scope and export planning. We record the change and identify the next owner before continuing.
