The cheapest option is usually the one that keeps the material in use, even if it is not in the original location. The most expensive option is scrapping a batch that could have been used on a secondary wall. Ask the client which option they are choosing before the factory changes anything.<\/p>\n
What has to be re-approved for the new colour or pattern?<\/h2>\n
A new colour needs a new physical sample and a new first-article record. The old FAI does not cover the new recipe, and the old COA does not describe the new batch. Plan for the 7-day custom colour development, then the sample approval, then the first article, before bulk production starts.<\/p>\n
A new pattern needs a new print file and, if the relief changes, a new mold. The mold is a tooling item; confirm the cost and the lead time before the client approves the change. If the new pattern is a variant of the old one, the factory may be able to reuse the existing mold and change only the print file, which is faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n
For a project, the change also flows into the submittal and the mock-up. The approved submittal package describes a specific pattern, thickness, and batch; a new colour means a revised product data sheet, a new sample, and possibly a revised mock-up. The customization and OEM process<\/a> explains how a custom colour or pattern is commissioned, and the control de consistencia del lote<\/a> shows how to verify the new batch against the new reference.<\/p>\n The change resets the colour and production clock. A custom colour takes about 7 days to develop, and a first bulk order takes 15\u201320 working days after the deposit and the written approval. A repeat order on a retained formula and mold is shorter, at 10\u201315 working days, but it still needs a new sample approval if the reference has changed.<\/p>\n Update the purchase order with the new reference, the new quantity, the disposition of the first batch, the revised milestones, and the revised payment schedule. If the project has a fixed installation date, decide early whether to split the shipment: the old batch can cover the first phase while the new batch is produced, or the new batch can travel by air freight if the date cannot move. Do not compress the inspection or the adhesive cure to recover the schedule; those are the stages that produce callbacks.<\/p>\n If the change happens after the goods are packed but before shipment, confirm whether the container can be held at the factory. Holding a loaded container may be cheaper than shipping the wrong material and replacing it at the destination, but the storage and demurrage cost has to be agreed. The gu\u00edas para compradores<\/a> cover the sourcing side of this decision.<\/p>\n The contract should answer this before the change happens. As a working rule, a change requested by the client after approval is a client cost: the first batch was produced to the approved reference, and the new development is a new requirement. If the supplier misread an approved reference or shipped the wrong material, the supplier bears the correction. If the change is caused by a drawing revision from the project, the party responsible for the revision bears it.<\/p>\n Whatever the principle, write the numbers and the responsibilities into the change order before production restarts. The change order should list the old batch disposition, the new development cost, the new sample and first-article cost, the revised delivery date, and the payment terms. A verbal agreement to \u201csort it out later\u201d is how a small change becomes a large dispute.<\/p>\n The residual value of the first batch matters. If it can be used on another area, sold as a second colour, or held for a future phase, the net cost of the change is lower. Ask the client and the distributor to confirm the disposition in writing before the factory scraps or reworks anything.<\/p>\n Lock the approval before production. The approved sample should be a physical panel from the production process, signed by both parties, with the pattern code, thickness band, and colour reference recorded. A Pantone number alone is not an approval; it is a target. The gama de revestimientos de piedra flexible<\/a> gives the pattern families, but the project approval has to name the exact code.<\/p>\n Define a change window in the PO: the date after which a colour or pattern change becomes a new order, and the date by which the client must approve the sample. Put the approval deadline and the production start date in the same table so the client can see the consequence of a late decision.<\/p>\n Keep the formula and mold record. The five-year retention means a client who reverts to the original colour can reorder it, and a distributor who wants a second colour can keep both versions alive. That record is also the evidence that the first batch was made to the approved reference, which is the basis for the cost conversation.<\/p>\n Yes, but the schedule and the cost reset. The 7-day colour development, the sample approval, and the first-article approval happen again, and the first batch has to be dispositioned. Get the change in writing before production restarts.<\/p>\n Not necessarily. It may be usable on another area or project, sellable as a second colour, or technically reworkable. Scrapping is the last option, not the first.<\/p>\n Yes. The old FAI covers the old recipe, not the new one. A new physical sample and a new first-article record are the evidence that the new colour is what the client approved.<\/p>\n Yes. The retained formula and mold allow a reorder of the original colour, or a matching batch if the client reverts. It does not make the first batch disappear, but it keeps the original version producible.<\/p>\n It depends on the contract and the cause. A client-requested change after approval is normally a client cost; a supplier error is normally a supplier cost.
