Planning a Production Transfer? Start With the Right Questions

Missing process data, unclear approval criteria, tooling issues or gaps in the supply plan can quickly turn a transfer into a source of delays and disruption. 

Rompa’s Production Transfer One-Page Checklist gives project teams a practical way to check the fundamentals before production moves. It is designed to be printed, filled in, and used as a working reference throughout the project. 

Use the checklist to confirm that you have considered: 

• The reason for the transfer and how success will be measured
• Production data, tooling information and supply-chain requirements
• Capacity, equipment, materials and quality requirements at the new location 
• How supply will continue while equipment is moved, installed and validated 
• Clear responsibilities, assumptions, trial criteria and final approval 

The earlier these questions are answered, the fewer unknowns there are when the transfer begins.
