SUPPLIER SELECTION PROCESS. Supplier selection shall be conducted exclusively by the Procurement Department in close collaboration with the Development, Project Management, Quality Assurance, Logistics and Production Departments in the respective subsidiaries. A well-defined supplier approval procedure in our corporate group ensures that we only admit companies to our set of suppliers, which ascribe to our high standards and demand that their sub-suppliers do so as well. We classify our suppliers based on the goods and services delivered to us. Our selection process is based on the following criteria, inter alia: ⮚ risk assessment based on consistent, defect-free delivery to customers ⮚ relevant quality and delivery performance, ⮚ evaluation of the supplier’s quality management system, ⮚ financial stability, ⮚ complexity of the products, materials or services to be purchased, ⮚ required technology (product or process) ⮚ adequacy of the available resources (e.g. employees, infrastructure), ⮚ development expertise (including project management), ⮚ Manufacturing expertise, ⮚ change ⮚ management process, ⮚ business continuity planning (e.g. preparation for catastrophes, emergency planning ⮚ logistical processes, Among other things, delivery and packaging concepts ⮚ Customer care/customer satisfaction/customer orientation ⮚ results of supplier self-audit, ⮚ proof of adequate capacity, ⮚ Flexibility and delivery reliability ⮚ Workplace safety (work equipment, facilities, protective equipment, safety programmes and training) ⮚ Careful use of resources (minimisation of emissions and avoidance of environmental damage) ⮚ Continuous improvement of environmental performance ⮚ Energy efficiency - energy cost reduction ⮚ Use of renewable forms of energy ⮚ Sustainability ⮚ High availability of the plant park ⮚ Highly qualified employees for installation and maintenance of the equipment Prerequisite for the acceptance of a supplier in the area of production material, means of production, quality service providers/laboratories and suppliers of dangerous substances is the successful completion of the qualification process (FO-088), in which the supplier proves that its own quality management systems comply with our requirements. Moreover, our supply partners must be willing to introduce a certified environmental, energy and occupational safety management system. Our preferred suppliers are able to meet our customers’ needs, conform to their specifications, and maintain the capacity required by customers. For highly complex order volumes, we reserve the right to take suitable measures to check capacity. In choosing our partners, we pay particular attention to the supplier’s circumstances and its ability to supply our needs on time and with flexibility (manpower, working hours, shift work, work weeks, production facilities, storage capacity, packaging, internal logistics, delivery and packaging concepts), as well as to ensure permanent supply security. Depending on need, we choose suitable means of exchanging this necessary information with our supply partners (e.g. supplier self-disclosure, assessment of potential, audit). When our supply partner makes an offer, a qualified technical and commercial feasibility study must be carried out and attached to the offer as a detailed elaboration, depending on the complexity of the scope of the offer.
