When purchasing equipment, is it necessary to conduct on-site inspections for manufacturers with whom one has never worked before, or whose names one has never heard of?

Can supply be confirmed and a contract be signed just through phone contact? Which types of manufacturers should be visited, and what should be examined?
It needs to be examined. One. Credit status II. Production site three. Is production running normally? Four. Management status of the production site
Is it necessary to conduct an assessment every time it’s a first collaboration?
It’s best to go and inspect the site in person to assess the other party’s capabilities, mainly to ensure proper follow-up service
Why bother partnering with such a company?
You don’t have to go if you don’t want to; just buy it and fix it every day, and then you’ll understand what I mean.
For large, critical equipment, this is essential, and inspections will be carried out several times
1. Conducting inspections is a technical task that requires thorough preparation in advance. 2. When inspecting, one should avoid letting emotions get involved and must provide objective, fair, and scientific evaluations. 3. When placing an order, multiple suppliers should be inspected; one should never use the opportunity for hospitality as a means of competition. Being indebted to others can end up harming oneself in the long run
It reminds me of a quick-cut valve I used before; it broke as fast as 15 days, and then a bunch of problems arose. Eventually, the manufacturer felt embarrassed and stopped supplying it! Continue to look for other manufacturers. . . .
It also depends on the situation; treat them differently. It’s either one unit or two units; if you’re not willing to go, then the manufacturer isn’t happy to have you there either. :lol
