Suppliers for EVVA
Effective procurement management is paramount to long-term business success and for this reason, at EVVA we consider our suppliers as our most important partners.
Procurement process optimisation and strategic supplier management is very important to us. Identifying, assessing and selecting the right suppliers are all paramount factors for success to us.
Our purchasing strategy operates according to the "principle of the best bid", i.e. in contrast to the "principle of the lowest bid", suppliers are not selected on the basis of the offer price only.
Supplier selection
Supplier selection represents the first and one of the most important steps within our process. We select suppliers according to clear criteria:
- Quality requirements
- Production capacity
- Manufacturing technology
- Tendency or potential for innovation
- Pricing and conditions
- Service/communication
Supplier audits
We audit and assess relevant suppliers' corporate and quality policies, production, testing and measuring devices as well as HR policies.
New suppliers are approved using supplier audits in the following cases:
- If the parts quality requires blocking and there are no substitute suppliers available
- If we are seeking a new supplier for complex or strategically important parts and the certificate of suitability for production in line with quality standards cannot be provided by other means or if QMs demand such an audit
- If new suppliers are not certified
Initial sampling
Initial sampling is an important part of our qualification process. Initial samples are subjected to required quality technology tests.
Approval is granted upon having scored a positive result.
Certificates
Written confirmation of nationally or internationally certified QA systems is regarded as approval.
Important documents
The EVVA Sicherheitstechnologie purchasing conditions represent the basis for each order.
Our quality agreement specifies the basic elements of our quality system, paramount and desirable for quality-based, professional relationships, continuous improvement of product conformity and to provide reliable services.
The Code of Conduct forms the basis of all business-related actions and decisions at EVVA so we are always perceived as a correct and reliable partner.
