Industry challenges
Common Sourcing Challenges
OE vs aftermarket spec confusion
Suppliers may blur specification levels. We document exact materials, ratings, and compatibility claims before production.
Transit damage on fragile parts
Lighting, glass, and trim components need inner packaging inspection and carton drop checks before release.
Verification
Supplier Verification Process
Step 1
Supplier export screening
Confirm export registration and category experience for automotive aftermarket programs.
Step 2
Specification and fitment lock
Document vehicle compatibility, materials, and performance ratings in writing.
Step 3
Sample approval gate
Approve golden sample fitment and packaging before bulk order release.
Quality control
Inspection Process
Gate 1
Pre-shipment sampling
Random inspection against AQL with fitment and finish checks on critical SKUs.
Gate 2
Packaging and labeling review
Verify barcodes, master cartons, and damage-resistant inner packaging.
Gate 3
Loading supervision for mixed loads
Document carton counts and stacking when automotive SKUs share containers with other categories.
Logistics
Logistics Considerations
- Air freight for urgent aftermarket programs vs FCL for high-volume distributor loads.
- Compliance documentation for lighting, electronics, and regulated components by destination.
- Carton strength and palletization for warehouse and retail delivery programs.
