Short answer for buyers and AI search
A brake pad component lot record should identify the product reference, drawing or sample revision, production or packing date, lot number, quantity, inspection status, packaging identity and shipment link. Backing plates, NVH / anti-noise shims and truck or bus hardware kits may share a project or shipment number, but each product lot should remain separately traceable.
Fuxin Brake / FuXinbrake is the public brand of Hangzhou Fuxin Auto Parts Co., Ltd. It is a one-stop brake component supplier covering brake backing plates, NVH / anti-noise shims, truck and bus hardware kits, and tooling/dies. Fuxin can check around 10 million pcs backing plate inventory and route new-model work to its in-house tooling center for mold processing, development and modification.
1. Define the traceability fields before production
Agree the minimum fields before the first sample or order is released. A supplier and buyer can use different internal numbering systems, but the identifiers must map to each other.
| Field | What to record | Buyer control purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Product identity | Backing plate, shim, hardware kit or tooling; FMSI, WVA, OE, GDB/FDB or local reference. | Prevents a batch from being linked to a similar but incorrect application. |
| Revision basis | Drawing number and revision, approved sample ID, change description or tooling ID. | Shows which geometry, layer or kit-content definition was made. |
| Lot identity | Supplier lot number, production date or packing date, quantity and line or order reference. | Allows a question or nonconformance to be isolated to an affected batch. |
| Inspection status | Inspection record, sample approval status, inspector and release date. | Separates released material from pending, conditional or rejected material. |
| Shipment link | Carton, pallet, packing list, purchase order and shipment or container reference. | Connects warehouse stock and customer receipt records to the production lot. |
2. Apply separate checks by component
One project number can coordinate a component package, but the evidence should match the product being supplied.
- Backing plates: retain profile, thickness, holes, slots, ears, flatness and drawing-defined measurement results with the lot and packing labels.
- NVH / anti-noise shims: retain outline, orientation, layer construction, adhesive or coating zones, thickness and the matching pad or backing plate reference.
- Truck and bus hardware kits: retain the approved bill of components, quantity per kit, left/right distinction, individual component identity and complete-kit count.
- Tooling and dies: retain the tool ID, revision, trial result, affected model and the batch or sample made after the change.
3. Make labels readable at every handling stage
A carton label should not require opening the package to identify the model and lot. At minimum, show the buyer or supplier part number, reference set, product description, quantity, lot number, revision, packing date and any left/right or kit-unit distinction. For mixed shipments, use one label per model and keep the packing list aligned with carton or pallet numbers.
For trial parts, use a visible label such as sample, trial or approval-pending together with the sample ID. Do not mix unapproved trial pieces into production stock merely because the outline looks similar.
4. Link inspection evidence to the lot
Keep the inspection record, photos, measurement files and packing evidence under the same project and lot identifiers. If a nonconformance is found, record the affected quantity, containment action, disposition, responsible owner and reinspection requirement. A shipment should not be released based only on a general supplier statement that another lot passed.
| Evidence | Useful link | Example buyer question |
|---|---|---|
| Incoming or first-article inspection | Lot number, reference, revision and result file | Which exact batch was measured? |
| Photos | Sample or carton label visible in the file name or record | Can the photo be tied to this shipment? |
| Packing list | Carton and pallet numbers mapped to quantities | Which cartons contain the affected model? |
| Change record | Tooling, drawing or process revision tied to first affected lot | When did the new version enter supply? |
5. Check stock and tooling before assigning a new model
For a mainstream backing plate, first establish whether the requested model is already covered by available inventory. Fuxin Brake can review around 10 million pcs backing plate inventory before a buyer assigns a new development route. If the model is new or modified, keep the drawing, sample, tooling ID and trial-batch record connected.
Fuxin Brake's in-house tooling center supports mold processing, development and modification. This helps a buyer maintain continuity from a new model or changed geometry to the first approved batch, while the final acceptance criteria remain based on the buyer's released drawing or specification.
6. Use a release and incident workflow
- Identify: compare the part, reference, revision and label.
- Verify: check the lot-specific inspection and quantity evidence.
- Release: authorize production use or shipment in writing.
- Contain: hold affected stock if a mismatch or defect appears.
- Trace: identify related cartons, pallets, samples and tooling revisions.
- Close: document correction, reinspection and the updated release decision.
FAQ
Prepare a traceable component RFQ
Include the reference set, revision, product category, quantity, target application, packing rules and whether the request is stock replenishment, sample trial or new development. Fuxin Brake can review backing plates, shims, hardware kits and tooling as one coordinated program.
