Hi All,
So we are just starting to put together our QMS for ISO:9001. We are a small manufacturing shop of about 20 or less employees. In our manual we state that we have (will have) an approved supplier list. As I read through older posts, it looks like only "key suppliers" or those who's products directly effect our manufacturing and end products would need to be on the ASL. Like many others, I am planning on grandfathering in all existing vendors as on the ASL prior to 2012.
For any future vendors: Criteria for new vendor consideration will be price, lead time/delivery, performance capabilities, quality system, references.
Currently, we don't rate or evaluate our suppliers, as we work with our current suppliers because they meet all of our needs. Also, we do not track our suppliers performance now, which we will need to do. Is there any EASY and inexpensive way or software to help track incoming shipments so that I can "rate" our suppliers at the end of the year? It seems to me that in order to evaluate and provide statistical data based on delivery and price, ect that I will need some sort of tracking software to make my life a little easier.
My customer is requiring for an upcoming audit:
1. criteria for ASL
2. supplier audit procedure & schedule
3. supplier corrective actions
4. tracking mechanism
Any and all comments/help will be MUCH appreciated! The ISO:9001 system is certainly intimidating if you've never worked in/for one before.
