I find my company in the position of having what are essentially 2 "approved Vendor lists" One is a hardcopy list (in the format of a spreadsheet)that contains the names, addresses, phone and contact name of all of our approved suppliers and an additional column identifying on what basis they have been approved, i.e, past performance, ISO registerers,standing in industry, etc.
We also have a business software that the Purchaser uses which contains the name, address,phone etc. AND ALSO identifies the specific approved part that we purchase from the supplier. My question is this "wouldn't it be better for the company if I dump the controlled spreadsheet (obsolete it) and control the Purchasing database as a replacement?" By doing this, the person who uses the Approved supplier list the most has easy access to it and we eliminate some redundancy.
