# Manufacturing & Suppliers

> Source suppliers and coordinate specifications, samples, production, and delivery.

Use Darwin Search to find an executable supplier path that can carry a specification through samples, production, quality review, and delivery.

## Describe the production need

Include materials, dimensions and tolerances, certification, quantity, packaging, target economics, delivery location, and required date.

```text theme={null}
Custom packaging manufacturer for 20,000 recyclable skincare cartons with color-matched samples and delivery within twelve weeks.
```

## Compare results

Review supplier capabilities, minimums, capacity, certifications, sample process, quality evidence, production terms, and delivery responsibility.

## Continue to Act

Keep specification, sample, production, and price approvals bound to the current Action state. Do not treat an approved sample as standing authority for changed production terms.
