ABSTRACT

There is little point in trying to blame the manufacturer or service provider when the finished product doesn’t come up to expectation because of an unsatisfactory design provided by the purchaser. In certain cases (for example when the requirements of the item cannot easily be described in words), it could be very helpful if the purchaser was to provide a drawing as a form of graphic order. In such cases, this drawing should contain all the relevant details such as type of material to be used, the material’s grade or condition, the specifications that are to be followed and, where possible, the graphic order/drawing should be to scale.
