Production schedule
When the mold design is completed, we will have another meeting. Again, the meeting will be held by the project manager to fix the production plan. In the meeting, we work out the process the mold to go through and the time each step of the process starts and completes. The production schedule will then be passed on to corresponding machining groups and rooms and added to their own production plan. At the same time, a project coordinator will be appointed to coordinate and watch over the whole project.

In-process quality control
The project coordinators are supposed to watch over the whole process. They are supposed to report to the manager whenever problems arise or whenever a procedure is leaked out. Say, they will report to the project manager when they find some copper electrodes are not measured as requested. And, the manager will meet the foreman and related technicians to decide what measures are to be taken to fix the issue.
In addition, the coordinators are also supposed to ensure the whole process is on schedule.

Communication with customers
Thousands kilometers ways from us, customers are always concerned on the project status. To ease their concerns, we established a smooth communication channel between us. In addition to daily E-mail communication, we also contact each other through phones call.
Generally, for each project, we have, at least, one person in close contact with our customers. And, this person will be there to update customer of the current status and pass on customer's comments and suggestions to corresponding department in Auto-mould. And, of course, whenever needed, conference call will be held to fix some urgent, tough problems.

Listed below is what we will submit to customers for status update.
a. Tooling schedule
Before cutting steel, we will submit a Tooling Schedule  to our customers to inform you of the arrangement on the whole process.
b. Weekly update
Each week, we are supposed to submit a  Weekly Report  to keep customers updated of the status. And, the report will be submitted together with some pictures.

Sampling and verification
After mold is completed, we come to sampling and verification stage. Generally, trial run is done with the presence of engineers or technicians from customer's company. They can inspect the whole trial run process and approve the samples or find out whatever to be improved. And, after discussion, we will make modifications as requested.
If customer is absent, we are supposed to submit sample as well as dimension inspection report for verifications. In addition, a Molding Setup List as well as video is also supposed to be submitted.
For custom molds going overseas, this is the last chance that the mold can be changed to fulfill your change in product design. So, generally, both sides place great importance on it.
