A production process page should show buyers how a tank order is controlled from RFQ review to shipment. The workflow changes by tank type: bolted panel tanks focus on panel preparation and coating; welded tanks focus on plate preparation, welding, NDT, coating, and field erection planning.
The purpose is trust and lead qualification. Buyers should know what data is needed before production and which documents can be requested during manufacturing.
| Stage | Control Points |
|---|---|
| Engineering review | Confirm capacity, standards, drawings, stored media, accessories, loads, inspection scope, and approved documents. |
| Material preparation | Steel grade, thickness, traceability, cutting, forming, hole preparation, edge treatment, and pre-production checks. |
| Coating or fabrication | GFS/enamel firing, fusion bonded epoxy coating, galvanizing, stainless fabrication, welding, or other process-specific controls. |
| Inspection and packing | Dimensional checks, coating thickness/holiday testing where specified, weld/NDT records, packing list, labels, and export protection. |
For bolted tanks, request panel coating records, packing list, installation manual, and accessory checks. For welded tanks, request material certificates, welding/NDT scope, coating records, and hydrotest/inspection documents as applicable.
Production process pages should link into quality control and RFQ pages. The better the RFQ data, the cleaner the manufacturing handover.
Send final drawings/specifications, standard basis, document requirements, inspection plan, packing/shipping constraints, and installation responsibility before production release.
