Supplier On-Boarding
By definition your supplier is not fully aligned to your supply chain. Fixing a problem after it occurs is exponentially more costly. From sample producing process to first order delivery, activities need vigilant management and established guidelines to ensure the new suppliers can become long term partners.
SupplyWeaver will hand hold your suppliers through the first few order cycles to ensure a smooth on-boarding process.
THE ACTIONS INCLUD
Order Rationalization: Feed your supplier based on our judgment of their capacity and capability. Carefully consider 3Vs (volume, variety and volatility), often variety and volatility will cause problems
Develop SOP(standard operational procedures) with suppliers, give suppliers clear instructions on what to do under each scenario and how to manage changes.
Visibility Improvement: Work with suppliers intensively during the initial cycles and give you visibility of what is happening on the shop floor
Training: Provide training at both ends to eliminate gaps, match the requirements and enable a mutual understanding.
