Scope-review outputs
- Current BOM, drawing, software and test revisions
- Supply, integration, approval and exclusion matrix
- Finished-unit acceptance and handover requirements
- Missing inputs, risks and decisions needed next
Seven-Stage Box Build Workflow
Box Build Assembly Process: From RFQ to Tested Delivery
We move each complete unit through an agreed scope, build-readiness controls, coordinated inputs, integration, verification and documented handover. The route is configured to the product rather than assumed from a generic production sequence.
- Defined scope and decision owners
- Controlled assembly and verification
- Recorded handover requirements

Request a Box Build Scope Review
Send your drawing, BOM or idea — we reply with a practical Box Build scope review.
Stage 01 / Define the build
1. RFQ and Scope Review
We review the current BOM, assembly drawings, enclosure data, PCBA and harness interfaces, test inputs, build quantities, variants and required delivery condition. The output is a practical boundary for what we coordinate, integrate, verify, document and deliver.
Customer-supplied material, approved sources, exclusions, acceptance authority and open assumptions are recorded before quotation or material commitments are treated as firm.

2. NPI and Pilot Planning
We plan how the first controlled units will establish build readiness. For a new design this often starts with a prototype box build to prove the assembly. The plan can cover material status, assembly order, work-instruction maturity, fixture and test readiness, first-unit inspection, known risks, stop conditions and customer approval points.
Pilot quantity and evidence are chosen for the learning and approval needs of the project. Findings are returned to the controlled product and process documents before high-volume production is released.

Stage 03 / Align every input
3. Sourcing and Build Preparation
We coordinate the approved versions and readiness of enclosures, PCBAs, cable harnesses, COTS parts, fasteners, labels, accessories and packaging. Customer-supplied and coordinated items remain visible as separate responsibilities.
Before build release, we check identity, revision, quantity and status against the project plan and flag shortages, substitutions or unresolved discrepancies for disposition.
Build-preparation controls
- Approved-source and revision alignment
- Incoming status and complete-unit kitting
- Work instructions, fixtures and traveler readiness
- Approved deviations and substitution decisions
Stage 04 / Build the complete unit
4. Assembly and Integration
We integrate the mechanical and electrical elements through the approved sequence: enclosure and hardware preparation, board and device mounting, cable routing and retention, connector mating, strain relief, grounding or thermal interfaces, and required closure steps.
Defined in-process checks confirm orientation, polarity, fastening, routing, clearance, connector access and visible workmanship at the points where later access may be limited.

5. Testing, Inspection and Configuration
We perform only the checks defined for the product: visual and configuration inspection, power-up, I/O or functional steps, and approved firmware or parameter loading where included.
The customer-approved procedure identifies interfaces, test version, limits, pass/fail criteria, exception handling and the data that must be retained. A board-level check is not represented as finished-product validation.
Functional testing
Run defined finished-unit checks and record the agreed results and exceptions.
Configuration control
Load approved releases and settings with controlled version and unit identity.
Inspection evidence
Connect agreed checks, deviations and test data to the required unit or batch record.
Failure disposition
Hold a nonconforming unit for the authorized review, rework or deviation decision.
Stage 06 / Complete the handover
6. Documentation and Delivery
We bring together the agreed serial list, inspection and functional-test records, firmware or configuration status, deviations, labels, accessories, manuals and packing list. The package reflects actual project records and the required delivery condition.
Units are labeled, checked and packaged to the approved specification before delivery. Documentation depth and data format are defined in the project scope rather than assumed for every build.
Possible handover items
- Unit or batch identity and configuration status
- Agreed inspection and functional-test records
- Approved deviation and change references
- Accessory, document, label and packing checks
Stage 07 / Control exceptions
Changes, Holds and Customer Decisions
Missing files, shortages, failed checks, ECOs and deviation requests can interrupt the normal sequence. We identify the affected material, instructions, software, test steps and units, then hold or release work according to the authorized decision.
The effective point for an approved change is recorded so the build history remains understandable. Customer approval is required wherever the agreed responsibility matrix assigns product or acceptance authority to the customer.
