What should be done if size adjustments are needed on-site after an order has started production?

Update Time:2026/5/9

Dynamic Project Intervention: Engineering Rigor & On-Site Compensation.

"3+1" Protocol: The Immutable Foundation. 

Every ODM order is governed by the "3+1" core documentation: Quote, Contract, Technical Drawings, and Service Agreement. Once confirmed, production proceeds strictly according to these irreversible parameters.

Pre-Shipment Correction: Halting & Re-Assessment. 

If a site error is reported before shipment, we immediately halt production to assess the impact.
· Impact Analysis: We evaluate the additional costs and lead-time delays caused by the change.
· Feasibility: If the change exceeds the limits of the current workpiece, the original component may be scrapped, and a re-production will be required. This underscores why your final sign-off on the "3+1" files is critical.

Post-Arrival Strategy: Adaptability & Product Autonomy. 

For discrepancies identified after dispatch, the solution shifts to "Site-First, Product-Guided" adaptation:
· On-Site Coordination: We first evaluate if site dimensions or installation methods can be adjusted to match the precision-built product.
· Built-in Tolerance: Many of our systems include a pre-designed adjustment range (e.g., ±1cm wall thickness tolerance for specific door sets) to absorb minor site variances.
· Architectural Adaptability: Our "No-Casing" series or specific window designs are naturally adaptable to varying wall thicknesses, allowing for successful installation even if site conditions shift.

What if the site's wall thickness changes after the doors are produced?

This depends on the product type. Many of our architectural systems are designed with "Adaptive Tolerance" (e.g., casing-free designs) that can accommodate shifts. However, for fixed-width products like traditional timber sets, the adjustment range is typically limited to ±1cm. Beyond this, on-site structural modification or component re-ordering may be necessary.

Why is the production process considered "Irreversible"? 

High-precision ODM manufacturing involves synchronized CNC cutting, specialized laminating, and structural bonding. Once a profile is cut or a surface is bonded to specific dimensions, it cannot be "un-done." This is why we emphasize rigorous confirmation of quotations, drawings, and other documents before production. This is also why, even after a deposit has been paid, we must wait for you to confirm the drawings and related documents. Absolute confirmation of the "3+1" documents is crucial to ensuring product compatibility.
