I have a question. The company I work for currently defines a Critical Item as- Material, service or equipment essential to the quality of testing and/or production which may be purchased from only one subcontractor.
We then go on to say that we audit all our Critical Suppliers that are not ISO Certified. Now they way I read that definition to me states that they are only critical if they are they only one in the world that makes it, which in our case would eliminate 90% of our suppliers.
My question is how does everyone else out there differante between Critical, Major and Minor? How do you determine what suppliers you will audit? I have some ideas but would like to see how others are doing it for more ideas.
Thanks
