1.3 Review documentation and performance If required, prior to the review, discuss the performance of any suppliers with the Procurement Administrator and Operations Coordinator.
Any non-conformances will be logged within the NC/IO register. This should also be checked to determine if there are any issues with suppliers that need to be taken into consideration. Discuss any issues with the QA Manager
The QHSE reports and IMS Management review minutes can also be used as inputs.
On the Memo Tab on the accounting package look for the stored copy of the Supplier Evaluation Form and associated documentation (if applicable.
If the dates on the documentation (ISO certifications, insurance etc.) have lapsed, or if there is no Supplier Evaluation Form stored, issue a new Supplier Evaluation Form to the suppliers.
A risk based approach is recommended (i.e. a more thorough review of suppliers critical to business performance is more valuable than low volume commodity suppliers). In, addition, Metron has a broad supply chain and our clients rely on us for fast delivery and so delivery times and responsiveness of suppliers should be taken into consideration.
Additional criteria to take into consideration; -Delivery times -Price -Quality of products/services -Relevant certifications/permits etc.
