We recommend that client / DS jointly audit 11 shortlisted suppliers (10 in China, 1 in India), the next steps
Include:
Collection of samples, to test in Germany
On site audit to verify their production capability, quality and management
Critical sample development and test, make sure supplier can meet client’s requirements
Collect full spend data to prepare negotiations with current and new suppliers as soon as audits and
tests are finished
Place trial production orders to verify suppliers’ capabilities regarding production quantities and if
satisfactory, sign contract
