Compare manufacturing fit

Questions About Global Sourcing
What should a sourcing brief include?
Include the product, materials, specifications, expected quantity, target market, quality requirements, packaging, and timing. Separate fixed requirements from areas where alternatives can be considered.
Does sourcing automatically include quality control?
Quality control is a separate Cengal service covering production monitoring and inspection against agreed specifications. Confirm which checkpoints belong in the project scope before work begins.
