Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Context:
"Alle von "uns" gelieferten Anlagenteile sollten vom Kunden nach Lieferung entsprechend der Menge und Ausführung überprüft werden!"
(Where "uns" = the company name)
I suspect that this means the quantity and design of the goods should be checked on receipt, although that doesn't really make sense since it refers to a furnace that is normally shipped as a single unit (cf. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/4041095) which doesn't come in different designs.

[check the] quantity and manufacturing quality/workmanship
Seems more likely here, as you say, than design or version/variant if they only supply one type.

type and quantity
the type and quantity of all parts supplied by us should be checked by the customer upon delivery
I interpret "Ausführung" as just meaning that you need to check that they have sent the right thing (e.g. the right part numbers) - if you ordered X you need to make sure that they haven't sent Y. I don't read this as necessarily an instruction to check workmanship or quality - just to make sure that what's been sent corresponds to what was ordered.

Discussion
i.e. the customer should check that the right number of parts have been delivered, and that they are in good condition (to prevent compensation claims later).
