What methodics do you use to evaluate your suppliers? As ISO 9001:2000 clause 7.4.1 says "The organization shall evaluate and select suppliers in accordance with organizations requirements." How exactly do you evaluate them? Any new ideas, methodics suggerstions would be greatly appreciated  !IP: Logged |

When we initially started our ISO 9001:1994, many of our suppliers we approved on past performance. Now we send out "Inital Quality Survey Checklist" which asks a variety of questions. However, if the company has a registered quality system like ISO or QS 9000 they do not need to complete the survey, just send us a copy of their cert. If the supplier causes us to generate a significant number of NCR's we may generate a CPAR. We also have a supplier rating system. I hope I kind of answered your question. Anybody else with some ideas? IP: Logged |

I agree with the past performance (try to avoid the word "Grandfather") for existing suppliers and surveys. For "mission critical" suppliers I try to do my own audit. Even if they are ISO/QS, it does not mean they are meeting all of MY requirements. I like to do product/process specific audits. During my toy train SQE days I would often drive for four hours to do a 30 minute audit, buy off on production samples, and drive home. Long day, but it was much cheaper than rejection, sort, scrap, remake, late production start, sort some more, scrap some more, late shipment, customer complaints, etc. Too bad I could never find many manufacturing facilities in Hawaii or Las Vegas.
