Suppliers development

For the further development of suppliers, it is advantageous to use cooperation with a so-called "third party", i.e. a company that has extensive experience not only in the field of system and process audits, but also audits specifically focused on mapping the situation at suppliers and proposing a procedure for their further improvement.

The certification company TÜV NORD Czech s.r.o. offers support for the supplier development process.

Part of the process is assistance in the development of specific requirements for the supplier management system and analysis of the current state of fulfillment of specific requirements. Proposal of corrective measures and longer-term monitoring of their implementation (both documentary and on-site investigation).

Support for supplier development is provided through direct cooperation and auditing of suppliers and implemented in the following phases:

Phase 1

Analysis of documents and familiarisation with supplier requirements

Phase 2

Creation of a specific checklist for the supplier audit

Phase 3

Conduct a supplier audit and process the results:

• audit results in relation to the check-list
• a partial SWOT analysis indicating opportunities and threats
• recommendations for further cooperation with the supplier
• an action plan for dealing with the supplier's situation

Phase 5

Analysis of improvement results achieved, preparation of possible ideas for further development of the supplier
