Confirm the product fit
Start with the wearing type, Bluetooth version, driver, battery configuration and target market. Compare these requirements with existing catalog models before requesting structural changes.
Review development capability
Ask how product development, mold manufacturing, sampling and production are coordinated. Confirm which requirements need a new design and which can use an existing model.
Define quality requirements
Document the inspection items, target market requirements and acceptance criteria before production. Certification scope should be confirmed for the specific project rather than assumed.
Evaluate project communication
A useful supplier review includes the responsible contact, sample feedback process, change confirmation method and production update cadence.
