SUPPLIER CERTIFICATION AND
MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
SAMPLE
PURPOSE
This document provides an
overview of the XYZ Company program for certifying and
managing suppliers, a program which was designed to select,
manage, and promote suppliers who can assist XYZ Company in
achieving "World Class Quality" and total customer
satisfaction.
SCOPE
This document applies to XYZ
Company and to all its suppliers of inventory material and
services.
GENERAL
XYZ Company is committed to
excellence, and we recognize that excellence cannot be
achieved without the cooperation and support of high quality,
cost effective suppliers. We seek to continually consolidate
our supplier base, form long-term partnerships, and
concentrate our purchasing activities around a small number of
"world class" suppliers who demonstrate:
· Consistent conformance to all
requirements
· 100% on-time, just-in-time
delivery performance
· Outstanding service, support,
flexibility, and responsiveness
· A dedication to continually
making their processes and products more reliable and less
costly
· Continuous improvement in all
areas: quality, cost, delivery, and service
To this end, XYZ Company will
continually measure supplier performance, communicate
information and monitor corrective action and will
periodically rate a supplier's standing among our overall
supplier base.
SUPPLIER CLASSIFICATION
XYZ Company uses information
referenced in this document to measure the performance of
suppliers in the areas of quality, delivery, cost, and
service. For suppliers meeting a minimum delivery lot
criteria, XYZ Company's Quality and Purchasing functions will
provide periodic feedback on how well they are doing and where
they rank in relation to suppliers providing similar products.
The rating system is a method for gauging a supplier's
progress toward zero defects and 100% on-time delivery, and
for identifying "world class" suppliers that XYZ
Company will consider for future business and long-term
partnerships. XYZ Company classifies suppliers into one of the
following categories:
1. Certified: World Class
2. Preferred: Exceeds
Expectations
3. Approved: Meets Expectations
4. Conditional: Conditionally
Approved/Probationary
APPROVED SUPPLIER LIST
Quality is responsible for
compiling the information covered in this procedure and
developing from it an Approved Supplier List. XYZ Company will
purchase material only from suppliers on the Approved Supplier
List, with preference given to Certified and Preferred
suppliers.
