Supplier Selection Criteria

[wmsjte]

Hi there, I am new to this so hope I am doing it right

I am a newby at setting up our ISO 9001 and need some advice regarding supplier criteria.

We are an agent so our Principals would be our main suppliers - would we still list them as suppliers? how would the selection criteria work as we do not have an option? Would we just have schedules in place measuring their performance - e.g quality, on time delivery etc...

Hope I make sense?

Hi and welcome here.
What is your business scope ?
From what I read, your principles are not your supplier as said in the purchasing clause of the ISO9001.
To perform your business effectively, what are your purchasing, and what criteria your organization has to select suppliers for your such purchasing needs.

Thanks for your response.

We are an Agent for a couple of overseas suppliers, therefore we basically sell their product for them.

we are the middle man so to speak so we do not manufacture anything ourselves they supply us with a complete product.

As the Agent - our suppliers have selected us so to speak to on sell their products, so we do not source suppliers.

We do however, repair products when required - I would then create a supplier evaluation process for companies that provide us with parts or services need to do this?

You are on track wmsjte.
Define your scope of your management system and see who are your suppliers and / or contractors who provide goods or services that has a bearing on your business scope.

Hi WMSJTE,

This what I think would be a great fit for you:

You are in the driving seat, so you can define your supplier selection criteria based on your past experience dealing with different suppliers and your customers. For example,

You can say,

- I will only accept suppliers who are ISO9001 certified
- Suppliers have to demonstrate they have adequate quality system in place
- Suppliers that pass your quality Audit
- Suppliers that have global footprint
- Suppliers that can demonstrate acceptable PPM rating
- Suppliers that have rigorous outgoing inspection system
- Suppliers that can fulfil certain conditions
- Suppliers who are financially strong
- Suppliers who give you a competitive advantage... and you can go on and on. you can add criteria that matter to you and your organization.

Then out of those you can select which are the knock out criteria ( Automatically disqualify if a supplier doesn't meet these criteria). remaining criteria you can use to compare amongst other participated suppliers to pick the best one possible.

As I mentioned, it's you who can define what you want.

Regards
Ziaur

I am looking for an excel spreadsheet that my company can use to onboard new suppliers. We are IATF 16949 cert. and we need the spreadsheet to address risk along with the questions. Maybe even a graph at the end.

Welcome to the Cove. Before any kind of spreadsheet will do you any good, you have to establish a process and criteria for qualifying new suppliers. The map is not the territory. Once you establish a process, the record-keeping should follow easily.

the topic is pretty broad and far reaching.....drawing on automotive experience, it is in fact a joint Engineering/Purchasing/Supplier Quality effort. As part of this process, OEMs require prospective/would be suppliers to perform a Supplier Self Assessment Audit to get the ball rolling....a search of the net would likely yield some info and forms in this regard (the process of vetting suppliers).

Re: excel spreadsheet(s), this are in all cases proprietary...as much history and work goes into the generation of them.
