Assign every interface before contract

Multi-Supplier Water Bottling Project Coordination

When treatment, blowing, filling, labeling and packing come from different factories, a missing interface can be more expensive than a machine price difference. This page is for buyers dividing a package across suppliers. Prepare the equipment list, proposed vendors, layouts, utility data, controls and shipment plan. The next step is a responsibility matrix that names who supplies, confirms, tests and closes every shared boundary.

Coordination workflow

  1. Freeze one revision of the buyer brief.
  2. Map supplier packages and exclusions.
  3. Issue one interface schedule.
  4. Align drawings, utilities and controls.
  5. Define FAT evidence for each package and shared boundary.
  6. Coordinate packing marks, container plan and document handover.
