Phases
There are three phases in suppliers’ assessment:
Initial Qualification (qi)
This qualification is performed only once, when opening the supplier file.
Formula:
(Qualification Sum / Max Qualification Sum) * 100%
Delivery Assessment (ae)
This evaluation takes place whenever a certain delivery document from the supplier is registered.
Formula:
Organization Assessment (ao)
The organization's assessment is carried out annually and aims to update the supplier's qualification.
Formula:
(Qualification Sum / Max Qualification Sum) * 10%
With each delivery, the supplier rating is updated according to the following algorithm:
If c) organization assessment has not yet been performed, then:
b) ae + 10% of a) qi
If not:
b) ae + 10% of c) ao
In order to carry out the three phases of suppliers’ assessment, several criteria were defined according to the qualification to be carried out.
A value was assigned to each criterion, which can correspond to a positive or negative value, called “OK Value” and “NOK Value” respectively. The total of each of the three types of qualification corresponds to 100 values.
Such criteria and corresponding values associated with a type of qualification are listed in the following table:
