Why this matters
For buyers and procurement engineers, the difference between a smooth 4-week delivery and a 14-week escalation trace often comes down to RFQ completeness: 2D drawing plus 3D STEP plus tolerances plus material spec plus critical surface callouts plus annual volume. This cluster walks through the RFQ preparation checklist, the supplier audit framework, and the typical cost drivers — material grade, tolerance stack, surface finish, certification — so first quotes are accurate and timelines are realistic.
