At REKO, order review is more than a routine step—it is a disciplined, multi-department evaluation that ensures every detail is understood before production begins. By confirming feasibility, aligning resources, and identifying risks early, we build a solid foundation for stable quality, accurate costs, and reliable delivery.

Why We Conduct Order Review

At REKO, every order must go through a mandatory and rigorous review before production begins. This process ensures that every project is delivered on time, on spec, and with full transparency.

Order review helps us:
  • Clarify all requirement
  • Identify risks early
  • Align internal resources
  • Reduce customer cost
  • Shorten overall lead time
  • Purpose & Timing of Order Review

    Purpose
  • Clarify technical requirements and prevent misunderstandings
  • Identify potential risks in advance
  • Coordinate internal workflow and resource allocation
  • Optimize cost efficiency for customers
  • Ensure predictable and accelerated delivery
  • Review Schedule

    Order review is conducted twice a week — Monday and Wednesday.

    Core Objectives of Order Review

    order_review_machining_feasibility

    Confirm Machining Feasibility

    Can the part be manufactured exactly according to the customer's drawings?

    Are there tolerance conflicts, material limitations, or process challenges?

    order_review_production_capacity

    Production Capacity Assessment

    Do our machines, manpower, and processing capabilities meet the required timeline and quality?

    order_review_delivery_commitment

    Reliable Delivery Commitment

    Based on capacity and workflow evaluation, we provide a delivery time that is accurate and achievable.

    order_review_cost_estimation

    Accurate Cost Estimation

    We calculate the full cost structure, including:
  • Material
  • Machining
  • Surface finishing
  • Outsourcing

    Risk Identification & Mitigation

    Potential risks may include:
  • Complex geometry or tight tolerances
  • Long material lead time
  • Sub-supplier scheduling risks
  • Technical or quality concerns
  • Payment or commercial risk
  • We evaluate each risk and define preventive actions.

    order_review_customer_requirements

    Full Understanding of Customer Requirements

    We confirm all expectations such as:

  • Specifications and tolerances
  • Surface finishing
  • Testing or inspection standards
  • Packaging requirements
  • Delivery and shipping terms
  • order_review_cross_dept_meeting

    Review Participants

    Order review is a cross-departmental collaboration involving:
  • Engineer
  • Purchasing Supervisor
  • Quality Supervisor
  • Production Manager
  • Project Consultant
  • Sales Manager
  • This multi-perspective evaluation ensures a complete and reliable assessment of every order.

    Main Review Content

    review_process_assessment

    Process Assessment

    We verify the entire production flow:

    Material → Machining → Surface treatment → Inspection → Packaging → Shipping

    Every step must be feasible and controlled.

    review_lead_time_assessment

    Lead Time Assessment

    We evaluate whether the delivery schedule is achievable based on:

  • Internal capacity
  • Outsourcing requirements
  • Peak production load
  • review_special_requirements

    Special Requirements Review

    For aerospace, medical, automotive, and mission-critical industries, we perform additional checks:

  • Compliance certifications
  • Material traceability
  • Process control plans
  • Quality documentation
  • Testing or inspection requirements
  • customer_pickup_service

    How Customers Benefit

    Reduced Cost

    Issues are identified in advance, reducing rework and waste.

    Faster Lead Time

    A smoother workflow minimizes delays.

    Higher Quality

    Risks are eliminated before machining starts.

    More Predictable Supply Chain

    Reliable planning gives customers confidence and consistency.

    Drawing Change Management

    Ensuring Accuracy, Traceability & Minimal Disruption When Customers Update Drawings In real production, drawing revisions are common — especially for aerospace, medical, automotive and R&D projects.
    At REKO, we have a strict and traceable Drawing Change Management System to ensure every update is handled smoothly and without risk.

    drawing_verification

    Immediate Verification of the New Drawing

    Once a new drawing or 3D model is received, our engineering team will:
  • Compare the new version with the previous revision
  • Identify dimensional changes, tolerance updates, geometry modifications
  • Check GD&T changes or new critical features
  • Confirm if materials, surface finishing or inspection standards are affected
  • Only after full verification do we proceed to the next step.

    change_impact_assessment

    Impact Assessment (Cost, Lead Time, Quality)

    We assess how the change affects:
  • Machining process
  • Tooling & fixturing
  • Surface finishing workflow
  • Inspection plan
  • Material usage
  • Overall delivery schedule
  • Project cost
  • Any risks or delays will be clearly communicated to the customer.

    cost_schedule_update

    Cost & Schedule Update

    If the change impacts cost or time, we provide:
  • Updated quotation (if necessary)
  • Revised delivery timeline
  • Clear explanation of the differences
  • This ensures transparency and prevents misunderstandings.

    document_version_control

    Version Control & Document Replacement

    To maintain traceability and prevent production errors, we:
  • Archive the old version
  • Upload the new version to our ERP/MES system
  • Apply version control labels
  • Ensure all departments use the latest revision
  • Lock previous versions to avoid accidental use
  • This is especially important for aerospace/medical compliance.

    internal_coordination_review

    Internal Coordination & Re-Review

    All relevant departments—including engineering, production, quality, purchasing, and project management—receive the updated documents and repeat a mini-order-review process to ensure:
  • Feasibility
  • Capacity alignment
  • Risk control
  • Consistency of the production plan
  • This prevents errors after the drawing change.

    customer_communication_confirmation

    Customer Communication & Confirmation

    We provide the customer with a clear summary:
  • What changed
  • Why it matters
  • Its impact on cost/time
  • Any risks or suggestions
  • Confirmation for approval before proceeding
  • Nothing is done until the customer approves.

    production_disruption_management

    Ensuring Minimal Production Disruption

    If production is already in progress, we evaluate:
  • Can the change be applied immediately?
  • Do we need to stop production?
  • Are any finished or semi-finished parts still usable?
  • Can we provide an alternative solution that meets the customer's goal?
  • We aim to minimize delays and cost impact while ensuring full compliance to the latest design.

    What This Means for Customers

  • Zero confusion about which drawing version is used
  • Full traceability for high-end industries
  • Transparent communication and fast response
  • Reduced risks of scrap, delays, or quality issues
  • More predictable project outcomes
