Production implementation overview
SinoScan’s sales engineers liaise with the customer, perform initial investigations and assume overall management responsiblity throughout the product life cycle.
Day-to-day operational management is handled by our project engineering team. Specialized materials and processes engineering teams are tasked with pre-production and quotation work on discrete components related to their field of expertise. Component engineers report to our project engineering team who collaborate with sales engineers on final decisions.
Where protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) is a concern, SinoScan ensures that discrete product components are sourced at different suppliers and final assembly or production done at our own secure facility.
Furtermore, all customer-related information stays within SinoScan’s Western market companies and our ISO9001:2015-certified manufacturing documentation office. At our documentation office all sensitive information is removed from drawings and specifications before being released to engineers and suppliers.
As per customer requirements, SinoScan enters into legally binding agreements to adequately safeguard the customer’s intellectual property.
Component drawings are supplied by customer or done by SinoScan’s engineers and documentation department. Component part specifications in English and supplier language are prepared to ensure clarity and a sufficient level of detail with regard to technical requirements, standards and definitions throughout the supply chain.

50 percent of tooling costs are paid at commencement of sample production and the remainder at sample approval.
Tooling is the sole property of the customer.
Unit Prices are adjusted when the combined change of material index price and currency rate is in excess of 5 percent of said unit price.
Local/off-shore Warehousing and/or vendor managed inventory (VMI) services provided as needed.
During component tooling and sample production SinoScan’s sales engineers and manufacturing engineers work closely with the supplier, to ensure full compliance with technical requirements and quality standards.
Although SinoScan assumes full responsibility for production and maintenance of tooling, it remains the sole property of the customer. All samples are manufactured using final production tools to ensure consistency between samples and actual production batches.
Component samples are submitted to SinoScan’s sales engineer, manufacturing project engineering team and workshop engineers. Samples are labeled, stored and entered into our ISO9001:2015-certified quality management system (QMS) together with all relevant test reports and certificates. If several iterations of sample production are necessary, all sample versions and related documentation are likewise labeled, stored and recorded in our QMS.
During the sample production stage, an original test report (OTR) is drafted by SinoScan’s engineers for each specific component. Component OTR specifies all dimensions, tolerances, surface requirements, functional requirements and other requirements that are to be measured and/or tested and documented.
Internal test reports based on the OTR are provided with all deliveries to SinoScan’s assembly/production workshop throughout the product life cycle. Additionally, for components as well as finished products, SinoScan provides its current customers with a wide range of in-house, supplier and 3rd party certificates related to material composition, specific industries, function and properties, and various regional directives.
Samples and all relevant documentation are delivered to sales engineer, project engineer and workshop engineer for approval and commencement of product sample assembly/production.
