Supplier

Identification & Due Diligence • Identify and evaluate reliable manufacturers in China.

• Verify factory location, production capability, scope of supply, and business history.
• Maintain documented evidence of all supplier verification activities. 2.

Technical

Verification • Verify manufacturer, brand, model, part number, specification, material, revision, lead time, and quantity before commercial commitment.

• Detect alternative or modified models proposed by suppliers, especially for spare parts. 3.

Procurement Process

Control • Manage each case through the full cycle: RFQ → Supplier Verification → Quotation → Technical/Commercial Review → Customer Offer → PO → Payment → Production → Inspection → Shipment → Closure.

• Ensure case closure, not just quotation collection, is the primary KPI. 4.

Technical

Communication with Suppliers • Conduct direct technical discussions with Chinese suppliers.

• Handle clarifications, deviations, alternative models, drawings, and quality documents.
• Escalate any technical change before commitment. 5.

Supplier

Development • Build and maintain a qualified Chinese supplier network with product capability, references, pricing, lead time, and performance history. 6.

Supplier

Documentation & AVL Management • Maintain and update the company’s Approved Vendor List (AVL).

• Register new suppliers only after full qualification and verification.
• Collect and organize supplier documents: licenses, certificates (ISO, API, ASME), catalogues, references, factory info.
• Ensure supplier records are complete, accurate, and traceable.
• Ensure non-approved suppliers are not used for quotations or procurement. 7.

Procurement Risk

Identification • Detect red flags: trading company without manufacturer confirmation, name mismatch, unusual pricing, changes in model/PN/specification, new suppliers without track record, payment before verification.

• Do not push a case forward just to close the RFQ if a problem is identified.
• Documentation & Ownership • Ensure full traceability for every case: who, from which supplier, what item, what specification, what price, based on what evidence, when, approved by whom, for which customer.
• Follow up proactively and remain responsible until closure.
