How NTN Coordinates Sourcing

Choose a catalog line or send a brief when you already know the part. The workflow keeps supplier statements, inspection findings and buyer approvals separate.

01 / Catalog

Browse product lines

Compare front and rear hub assemblies by application, flange and encoder interface.

Open catalog
02 / Sourcing brief

Submit a sourcing brief

Have a drawing or OE list? Add the quantity and destination so suppliers quote the same request.

Start an RFQ

From brief to shipment

Clarify

Assign an RFQ revision. Record vehicle derivative, wheel position, OE cross reference and ABS encoder ring interface before requesting prices.

Compare

Align the quoted SKU, kit contents, quantity break and Incoterm named place. Separate tooling and sample charges. Compare an integrated hub with a serviceable bearing by including the press tooling, seal lip and installation scope on approved platforms.

Verify

Connect the reference sample ID to the drawing and supplier. Specify the locating datum, fixture, radial runout and lateral runout points, gauge resolution and the buyer-approved limits in mm before inspection.

Coordinate

Match lot and carton identifiers to the packing list. Confirm which party will book carriage, clear customs and approve document release.

The records that travel with a quote

Supplier-provided

Legal entity

Compare the legal name and site address on the offer and supporting documents. Ask the supplier to name a subcontracted site if relevant.

Supplier-provided

Offer version

Keep the dated offer, unit and currency next to the requested lot size, sample terms and MOQ basis.

Third-party

Inspection scope

Agree the lot definition, sample identification, method and disposition rule before arranging an inspection.

Third-party

Test report identity

Record the issuer, report number, model, drawing revision and tested conditions. If the ABS encoder ring, seal lip or hub flange changes, ask the supplier to confirm whether the report still covers the offered revision.

Buyer-approved

Sourcing decision

Choose between one source with simpler controls and split sourcing with broader coverage. Preserve a separate approval record for each supplier.

Buyer-approved

Dispatch checklist

Use the order, packing list and agreed handoff point to confirm item IDs, carton counts and required shipping records.

Send a quote that needs a second look

Add the supplier drawing and pack scope in your notes. List any condition you still need the seller to confirm.

  • Identify the drawing revision
  • List the quotation exclusions
  • Specify who approves the sample
