ISO 9001 supplier evaluation
7.4.1
Evaluate and select suppliers based on their ability to meet your
requirements.
Decide what is important to you
- eg do suppliers delivery on time, in full, etc.
Supplier evaluation and
approval may be based on previous performance. Supplier audits or questionnaires
are not mandatory.
There is an urban myth that you
can only deal with other ISO 9001 approved companies. This is NOT an ISO 9001
requirement. You decide the selection criteria. Perhaps the simplest way is to
place a few trial orders and approve new suppliers on their performance. The
questionnaire route is more-or-less meaningless, in the long run it only
benefits the post office.
Approve existing
suppliers on the basis of their previous performance.
Limit the term "supplier" to
those suppliers whose product or service has direct impact on the quality of
your own product or service.
Maintain Quality
records 4.2.4 of suppliers
you approve (aka approved supplier list).
Supplier performance must re-evaluated
periodically (Data analysis 8.4).
