Trouble with Specifications
Specifications for lasers and other photonics products are essential for the process of buying such things.
Nevertheless, many do not properly deal with them:
- Many product specifications by suppliers lack quality – they are incomplete, not sufficiently clear, etc.
- Buyers are often not aware of what they really need. For example, they forget essential requirements.
Various problems can arise:
- Due to a lack of clarity, tedious communications between supplier and buyer are required.
- Product specifications raise expectations which cannot be met.
- Conflicts can arise over such issues.
