At my previous employer, we first had 2 main catagories of suppliers: those who supplied material made to our drawings, and suppliers of 'stock' or 'off the shelf' items. We had two very different supplier evals for each catagory because we had different concerns: e.g., a supplier of stock items would be evaluated on, among other things, product literature, something that would not really apply to a supplier of parts made to our drawings. Conversely, a supplier of parts made to our drawings would be evaluated on, for example, their control of our engineering documents which of course would not apply to a stock item supplier. Therefore we had separate forms for each catagory.
Also, within the catagory of suppliers making parts to our drawings we had two distinct sub-catagories of parts: machined parts and fabricated parts. We had some concerns and expectations that differed to some extent between each sub-catagory so the form had two sections, each addressing each sub-catagory and the suppliers would fill out one or the other, or both as appropriate.
Each of these forms was a controlled form in our document control system.
That help at all?
