APPLICATION REVIEW / PROJECT SPECIFIC

CROSS-INDUSTRY REVIEW / 03

Six priorities connect the drawing to the application.

These priorities help connect drawing requirements with function, manufacturing, inspection, and repeat supply.

01Functional features
Identify which features control operation, fit, motion, sealing, load transfer, or serviceability.
02Material and environment
Review material condition alongside temperature, wear, corrosion, cleanliness, and handling expectations.
03Interfaces and datums
Connect mating features, alignment references, installation points, and datum logic to the application.
04Tolerance and surface finish
Apply requirements to functional features with material, geometry, process, and verification considered together.
05Inspection and documentation
Define critical characteristics, inspection approach, records, and any customer-specified responsibilities.
06Repeat production and revision control
Maintain alignment between approved requirements, revisions, documentation, and repeat-supply expectations.

COMPACT PROJECT PATH / 04
