What it looks like
Three surfaces you will see on day one.
Mock surfaces. Content shown is illustrative — your real RFQs replace this on day one.
Foreman flagged this drawing in 47 seconds.
Three issues caught before quoting starts. The owner sees this on the inbox card and decides whether to clarify or pass.
Tolerance conflicts material
Aluminum 6061 cannot hold ±0.0005 on the boss diameter. Verdict: ask before quoting.
Missing surface finish callout
No Ra value on the mating face. Same customer asked for 32 Ra last time.
Heat treat note unreadable
Note 4 in the title block is partially redacted. Likely "T6 per AMS 2770".
7am inbox summary, every weekday.
One email. What came in. What is broken. What to quote first. Posted before you finish your coffee.
Quote the bracket assembly first. The other two are routine reorders. Foreman has drafts ready.
Clarification email, in your voice.
Foreman drafts the reply your customer needs. You read it, edit a word, hit send. Or promote Foreman a rung and he sends it himself.
Hey Kyle — quick one before I get a number to you. The boss diameter is called out at ±0.0005 but the material is 6061. We can hold ±0.001 in 6061, or ±0.0005 if you can move to 7075. Either works for us, just want to make sure we quote what you actually need. — Tom
