What steps should we follow to coordinate design changes during the workbench prototyping phase?

If your team needs to adjust specifications after prototyping has begun—such as modifying drawer configuration, load capacity, or material selection for a steel plate workbench—the most effective approach is to initiate a formal change request through Guang’ErMei’s project coordination channel. This ensures all adjustments are evaluated against structural integrity, production feasibility, and timeline impact.

This process applies specifically when you’re customizing workstation equipment like the Single Back Panel 4-Drawer Steel Plate Workbench or 4-Drawer 1-Door Tool Cart with Pegboard, where core parameters may affect downstream manufacturing. Before submitting changes, confirm: (1) updated site layout or workflow requirements driving the change, (2) whether the modification impacts 6S compliance or integration with adjacent lean pipe systems, and (3) if new components fall within our standard customization scope, such as dimension adjustments that maintain compatibility with existing frame structures and load-bearing designs.

Note that design changes are only accepted before final fabrication begins. Once cutting or welding commences, structural alterations may incur rework costs or delay delivery. Non-structural updates (e.g., color, label placement) can often be accommodated later with minimal impact.

Next step: Share your revised sketch or CAD file with our engineering team, referencing your project ID. We’ll respond within one business day with a feasibility assessment, updated lead time, and any necessary trade-off analysis—such as how increasing drawer height might reduce overall stability without frame reinforcement.
