Made to Order:
At Slindo we practice a continuous procurement process of discovering, prioritizing, improving, and re-evaluating sourcing activities that have helped best-in-class companies achieve substantial cost savings and other sourcing objectives.
Are you single sourced and want to look at options for a second source? We can provide full due diligence on the available sources to help you identify not just who makes a product, but who is the best choice for you.
We have a decade of experience judging suppliers and informing our process of supplier selection based on a number of intangibles that are usually invisible from a company’s literature.
During this process, we will be able to foresee possible supplier-related risks while still in the early phase of the relationship. This process helps Slindo decide whether to accept this risk and create a contingency plan to deal with them head on, or simply choose to avoid doing business with certain suppliers if the risk is too big.
Slindo assess the following six areas in our self-evaluation questionnaire:
MANAGEMENT: Does the supplier have proper management systems in place and follows both internal and external standards? For example, we ask for quality management certifications, such as ISO9001, or ask about their company code of conduct. Basically, we want to guarantee the company is committed to being an honest partner.
SUSTAINABILITY: Here we will be looking for evidence that the supplier is financially sustainable and follows all appropriate safety rules. Depending on our customer’s primary areas of concern, we can also ask about social and environmental sustainability.
PRODUCT: We ask for evidence of the product test reports and certifications. We’ll also want to know how product quality is ensured, whether there is product development process and version handling process, etc.
PROCESS: Does the supplier have streamlined processes in place for handling nonconformities and managing sub-vendors ? We want to ensure that the supplier can target any production issues and fix them before they adversely affect your supply chain.
IMPROVEMENT: It’s important for us to see that there’s a continuous improvement process in place. The key here is to discern whether and to what extent suppliers cooperate with sub-vendors and/or customers.
COST: Finally, if they’re willing to share, we ask for information on their product cost structure. This may include the factors that affect their pricing, which can help you anticipate cost fluctuations down the line. We also ask them about their willingness to make an effort to reduce costs and share these savings with you, the buyer.
