THE BUYING ANSWER
Start with a clear definition.
Give each trim a code, location and approval reference. Include the components that are hidden in styled photography, such as the reverse of a fastening. The register should connect the physical sample to the component list used for the order.
The decision behind the detail.
One name such as ribbon can conceal different widths, colours or finishes. Use separate references where the actual component differs.
PREPARE ONLY WHAT IS RELEVANT
Three details to bring.
- Component codes
- Assign an identifier to every distinct trim.
- Placement
- Match each trim to a position on the product.
- Approval reference
- Name the physical sample or document used for review.
Check together
- Check quantities of each component per finished item.
- Separate visually similar but different components.
- Update the register when a trim is replaced.
