When it comes to good supplier management, it’s an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss and a risk you cannot afford to take. Meticulous supplier information gathering, measuring performance, and assessing risks is a two-way collaborative process between buyers and suppliers. Without the right tools and processes, efforts to manage your supplier portfolio could take a lot of time with little results. This session presents the groundwork for laying a successful supplier management strategy and the best practices in maintaining buyer and supplier adaption.

All new qualified suppliers will have the initial status
of operational
Supplier approval will consist of one, and ultimately
two steps:
1. Formal approval based on qualification documents.
2. Formal approval of the segmentation:
a) In case of operational:
Suppliers do not require an approval
b) In case of strategic or tactical formal approval.
Only e-Sourcing events can be conducted with approved
and potential suppliers
Contracting can only be conducted with approved suppliers
Supplier approval and segmentation are executed and
visible in Ariba (Single Source of Truth)
