The Standard requires suppliers of raw materials, traded materials or products, outsourced processes and products and services to be approved. This is to ensure that the material or service provided doesn’t pose a risk to the finished product.
A robust supplier management system needs to look at not just the supplier, but also the material or service itself and the inherent risks it may bring with it.
Having a really clear purpose for management of suppliers, which has defined inputs and outputs of each stage of the risk assessment is essential.
It takes a great deal of resource to manage suppliers, so the system has to be simple and yet effective. This system does just that. It makes sense of a complicated subject and provides one clear path for success with your suppliers.

Material risk assessment
Every material comes with inherent risks, this system provides a clear strategy for how they should be managed. Taking the intended purpose into account, the risks are managed through a combination of supplier controls, acceptance procedures and process controls.
Risk assessment with meaning
Every risk assessment has a purpose. It needs inputs and outputs. The supplier management procedure clearly defines what these are and links them to the approval methods which are based on risk.
Supplier monitoring
This isn’t new but recent updates have made it really clear what an important a role it plays. Management of suppliers is a continuous process, and this system provides you with the structure for performance monitoring and review.
