Type: Fill Checklist

This step involves evaluating and selecting qualified suppliers based on set criteria. The process begins by gathering information about potential suppliers through various channels such as industry directories, online research, or referrals. A detailed questionnaire is then sent to the shortlisted suppliers to assess their capabilities, quality control measures, production capacity, pricing, logistics, and customer service standards. Once the questionnaires are completed, a team of experts reviews them to determine if the supplier meets the company's minimum requirements. The evaluation criteria may include certifications such as ISO 9001 or industry-specific accreditations. Upon successful qualification, suppliers are added to a pre-approved list, enabling seamless procurement processes in future. The qualified supplier database is regularly updated and monitored to ensure compliance with changing business needs and regulatory standards.
