Know which work belongs on your floor.
A part needs making. Start with whether your equipment can do the job, what resources it needs and what capability is missing.
Start with the equipment you own.
Declare machine process families, build envelopes, supported materials and rates. Review the part against that context instead of relying on an anonymous shop assumption.
Separate a route from a machine match.
A geometry-led suggestion is only one part of the decision. Confirm envelope fit, material suitability and the operating requirements before planning production.
Inspect a suggested processUnderstand the resources you would commit.
Review the hours, material and declared rates. Owned-equipment resource cost and acquiring new capability are different decisions; keep them separate.
Keep the exceptions in view.
Uncertain inputs and missing capability need a person. Save the decision with its evidence and bring actual outcomes back after the work is done.
See the evidence for yourself.
