Independent sourcing coordination

About NTN SNR Sourcing

NTN SNR is an independent China procurement coordination service. We organize requests for wheel bearings, service kits and hub units on behalf of B2B buyers. Brand and OE names are used to identify parts during sourcing.

Roadmap / toward 2030

Make the evidence travel with the part number

Our working priorities describe the records a procurement team needs as a program grows.

  1. 01

    Structure

    Use distinct fields for OE number, axle position, physical envelope and ABS encoder.

  2. 02

    Connect

    Link the quote, sample code and approved drawing revision so a purchasing handoff keeps the same basis.

  3. 03

    Keep current

    When a supplier changes the seal, encoder or kit contents, reopen the affected evidence before accepting a substitution.

Project milestones

What moves a request forward

  1. A

    Scope agreed

    The buyer records the OE cross reference, vehicle build range, axle and side. An integrated hub flange and a serviceable double-row angular contact bearing require different hardware lists.

  2. B

    Offer reviewed

    The selected supplier confirms inclusions, exclusions and pricing basis. A single supplier can simplify document tracking. A split award can fill more part-number gaps and requires a lot map for mixed-container loading.

  3. C

    Sample decision

    The buyer records accepted checks or holds the line if the ABS encoder ring, wheel speed sensor connector or seal lip differs from the agreed drawing.

  4. D

    Document handoff

    Named parties check the carton and shipping records.
