Frequently Asked Questions
Why should sample approval timing be planned before PO?
Because sample rounds, courier delay, and internal signoff lag often consume more time than buyers expect and can push the production slot.
What usually makes sample approval slow?
Multiple revision rounds, non-standard finishes, and slow signoff inside the buying team usually stretch the approval path the most.
How should buyers use this planner?
Use it before RFQ closure so the supplier, sample path, and production slot are evaluated together instead of in isolation.
Need a cleaner approval process?
Use sample planning with QC and quote comparison before you release production.
