Hello All -
I have been through alot of customer and registrar audits and one issue that came up was that certain suppliers were not on our AVL. I was told time and time again by my Registrar that any supplier that provides something to the company that could affect the quality of the product should be on our AVL. This is includes calibration services, packaging supplier, etc.
I have 81 suppliers on my AVL.
During the last Management Council Meeting - my GM asked me why I had some many suppliers on the list. I tried to explain, but he said it was over-kill and that the list needed to be cut short.
He said that we should only have to review our top 10 suppliers - whom we purchase the most from.
My re-assessment audit is coming up in a couple months - Does anyone see this as a problem? Obviously we will be using 71 other suppliers who are not going to be on my list anymore!
Any thoughts?
Thanks much!
