Requirements & Responsibilities
Confirm the project scope, required information and communication responsibilities according to the project arrangement.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Export Mold Project Management
Follow your injection mold project through clear milestones, design approvals, progress updates and open-action tracking. Arktech coordinates engineering feedback, trial approval and tooling handover with your team.
PROJECT COORDINATION
Project Coordination & Customer Confirmation
Project requirements, technical questions, approvals and open actions are coordinated with your team so the current status and next decisions remain clear.
Engineering Confirmation
Coordinate DFM findings, design questions and customer feedback before the relevant tooling decisions are released.
Customer Approval Points
Confirm mold drawings, agreed changes, sample feedback and handover requirements at the applicable project milestones.
Project Updates
Share current progress, open actions and upcoming decisions at the agreed reporting frequency.
PROJECT MILESTONES
Project Milestones from Requirements to Handover
The following is a typical tooling workflow. Approval steps and reporting arrangements depend on project requirements.
- 01
Requirements & Engineering Review
Confirm part data, tooling requirements and engineering questions.
- 02
Mold Design Approval
Coordinate drawing review and the required customer confirmation before manufacturing release.
- 03
Manufacturing Progress

Tooling Progress Updates for Overseas Customers
Progress updates help your team review current tooling status, open questions and the next milestone without being onsite.
- Schedule & Milestones
- Current timing and upcoming project decisions.
- Build Progress
- Relevant manufacturing status and progress photos.
- Open Actions
- Outstanding questions, required responses and follow-up status.
- Next Step
- Upcoming approval, trial or handover activity.
Progress updates cover agreed milestones, manufacturing status and open actions. Reporting frequency is agreed for each project.
CHANGES & OPEN ACTIONS
Engineering Changes & Open-Action Tracking
Design revisions, trial findings and customer requests can affect tooling work. The project team tracks the relevant information and confirms required actions with the customer.
Revision Status
Identify the applicable DFM, drawing and design revision.
Open Issues
Record unresolved technical questions and required decisions.
Action Follow-Up
Track responsibility, target timing and completion status.
Schedule Impact
Communicate identified timing impacts and revised plans when changes or project risks require review.
Where a customer-requested modification may affect the agreed scope, identified timing and cost implications can be reviewed before the change proceeds.
APPROVAL & HANDOVER
Trial Approval & Tooling Handover Coordination
Trial follow-up and handover requirements are coordinated around the applicable customer decisions and the agreed tooling scope.
PART A
Trial & Customer Feedback
Coordinate trial timing, sample submission, customer comments and correction follow-up through the agreed approval process.
PART B
Documentation & Delivery
Coordinate the agreed tooling documents, spare-part information, packing preparation and delivery requirements before handover.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT FAQ
Tooling Project Coordination Questions
