the requirements of all purchases• Purchasing strategy adopted will influence the
approach taken during evaluation and selection process
• Key decisions include: Single vs. multiple supply sources Short term vs. long term purchase contracts Selecting suppliers that provide design support vs.
those that lack design capability Full-service vs. non full-service suppliers Domestic vs. foreign suppliers Expectation of a close working relationship vs. arm’s-
length purchasing
Supplier Evaluation & Selection
Identify potential supply sources:• Current suppliers• Sales representatives• Information database• Experience• Trade journals / directories / shows• Second-party / indirect information• Internal sources• Internet searches
Sourcing alternatives:• Manufacturer vs. Distributor• Local / National / International Suppliers• Large or Small Suppliers• Multiple or Single Sourcing
Supplier Evaluation & Selection
Key Supplier Evaluation Criteria:• Management capability• Employee capabilities• Cost structure• Total quality performance, systems and philosophy• Process and technological capability• Environmental regulation compliance• Financial stability• Production scheduling and control systems• E-commerce capability• Supplier’s sourcing strategies, policies and techniques• Longer-term relationship potential

Supplier Quality Management
Supplier Quality
Importance of Supplier Quality a. Supplier Impact on Quality
• supplier responsible for 50% of firm’s product-related quality problem
• company focuses only its own internal quality issues will usually fail to recognize and take action on quality-related problems
b. Continuous-Improvement Requirements• continuous quality improvements in all aspects; one way to
do this is through effective management of supplier quality
c. Outsourcing of Purchase Requirements• no longer an advantage in some industries to make most of
the components of a product• therefore, progressive buyers are relying on suppliers that
demonstrate significant capabilities
Supplier Quality Management

quality
ii. The resources available to support supplier quality management and improvement

2. Pursue quality source
3. Stress objective rather than subjective analysis
4. Emphasize prevention rather than detection of defects
5. Focus on process rather than output
6. Strive for zero defects

* Supplier Performance Index (SPI) = (Total Purchases + Nonperformance Costs) / Total Purchases
Supplier Management & Development
• Definitions of globalization – ‘interdependence’, ‘connectivity’ and ‘integration of economies’ in social, technical and political spheres
• International Purchasing relates to a commercial purchase transaction between a buyer and a supplier located in different countries.
• Global (worldwide) sourcing involves proactively integrating and coordinating common items and materials, processes, designs, technologies and suppliers across worldwide purchasing, engineering and operating locations.
Global Sourcing
Why Source Worldwide?• Cost / Price Benefits• Access to Product and Process Technology• Quality• Access to the Only Source Available• Introduce Competition to Domestic Suppliers• React to Buying Patterns of Competitors• Establish a Presence in a Foreign Market
Global Sourcing
Barriers to Worldwide Sourcing:• Lack of knowledge and skills concerning global
sourcing• Resistance to change• Longer lead times• Different business customs, language and culture• Currency fluctuations
Global Sourcing
Benefits:• Lower purchase price or cost• Greater supplier responsiveness• Greater sourcing process consistency• Improved supplier relationships• Improved sharing of information with suppliers
Global Sourcing
• Suppliers evaluation and selection will establish the foundation to develop & improve supplier performance.
• Improving supplier quality involves much more than providing clear specifications and maintaining open communication.
• An effective supplier management program helps maximize the contribution received from suppliers, lowering costs, increasing quality and developing future capabilities.
• Firms operating in competitive industries must purchase from the best available sources worldwide.
