When the part does not fit a standard process menu.
Some requirements begin with a drawing. Others begin with a sample, an obsolete component, a specification or a functional need. SharpSigma connects technical definition with the manufacturing route required to supply the part.
Start from the evidence available.
- Existing drawing or CAD model
- Physical sample / legacy component
- Specification-controlled requirement
- Functional interfaces and critical characteristics
- Obsolete or difficult-to-source replacement need
Start from what exists.
A sample, legacy part, drawing, specification or functional interface can all be valid starting evidence when the original definition is incomplete.
Discuss a Custom Component →Turn the requirement into something controllable.
- Reverse engineering or technical definition where needed
- Material and process assumptions made explicit
- Critical tolerances and interfaces identified
- Inspection and acceptance evidence defined
- Production route selected around requirement and quantity
Definition closes the ambiguity.
Material, interfaces, critical features and acceptance evidence are made explicit before a production route is selected.
Discuss Reverse Engineering →Keep one customer-facing requirement owner.
- SharpSigma coordinates sourcing and production route
- Clarifications and deviations controlled against the requirement
- Quality evidence collected as specified
- Nonconformance and corrective action managed through the order
- Repeat requirements can transition into controlled recurring supply
Confirm the route before commitment.
Process route, source capability, material, tolerances, inspection and documentation are confirmed against the actual requirement before SharpSigma commits to the order.
Discuss the Requirement →Start with the evidence you have.
Share the available drawing, sample description, specification, functional requirement, quantity and timing. Proprietary files or controlled references can follow through the technical-file transfer path.
