Four Essential Documents to Succeed your Industrial Subcontracting Project

In the manufacturing sector, a growing number of businesses make use of subcontracting in order to reduce their production costs, offer high-quality products, and fulfill all their orders.

Subcontracting also accelerate their business growth and increase their income, but it must be carefully planned. An exhaustive description of the technical work to be carried out is therefore mandatory to ensure the qualitative success of each project. Here are the four documents you need to succeed your subcontracting project:

1- Outline Specification:

One of the first things you should consider before outsourcing a part of your company’s production is to prepare a general description of the product or of the tasks you would like to outsource. This implies a good knowledge of the site of execution, materials, and production standards.

The outline specification is also a great opportunity to draft a summary of the relevant information because a brief description of the products and their specifications would facilitate communication and exchanges between production managers and administrators and / or other managers.

2- Job Specification:

Also called the technical specifications, this document is often quite massive, since it is meant to be comprehensive, detailed, and accurate. It is useful both, during the contract preparation stage and subsequently, throughout the execution of the subcontracting project. This document is where the various tasks and responsibilities of the subcontractors are specified. Hence, this document is essential for the completion of all required tasks in order to ensure that the final product fulfills the use for which it is intended.

It states the required skills and experience of the production manager in order to lead tasks depending upon the requirements of the project. It describes with great details the related tasks, thus enabling the subcontractor to achieve them in optimum conditions.
