Yes. Factory visits, remote walkthroughs and third-party audits are hosted at the Sanken factory and arranged through KAFFAWERK. A technical meeting with engineering can come first if the audit is premature.

Split the question in three: what the factory can produce, what makes economic sense, and what you can actually sell in a first order. Then order stock items first, and start the second order before the first one ships.
