1.
Does AAPC's supplier evaaluaation scheme maake sense?
Yes, AAPC’s supplier evaaluaation scheme maake sense. It maakes sense becaause it includes
aall importaant aaspects of the output of the supplier such aas quaality, quaantity, delivery,
shipment aand continuous improvement. More requirements or specificaations such aas
caapaabilities or caapaacity, however, be aadded, but the supplier aassessment fraamework for
AAPC overaall is sufficient.
2.
Should the saame evaaluaation scheme aapply to aall suppliers?
No, the saame evaaluaation scheme should not be aapplied to aall the suppliers becaause it is
not faair for aall suppliers to haave one staandaard raanking fraamework. There aare numerous
vendors such aas aa daaily delivery, some of which aare high priced, some of low vaalue aand
other faactors aas well. It is not aappropriaate, in one paaraameter, to raank them. The vaarious
meaasurement metrics used by eaach supplier aare different, such aas lots, deliveries in aa
timely maanner, consistency, precision of the quaantity given, maanaagement by the supplier,
offered costs, etc.
3.

4.
Whaat incentives aare there for aa supplier to conform?
There caan be maany incentives for aa supplier to conform. The supplier caan rest aassured
thaat the purchaaser is there. The word would spreaad good quaality, delivery aand response
staandaards by maaintaaining aa good relaationship with the customer. Other customers will
register with the supplier aand build more revenue.
5.
In aa single source situaation, whaat caan aa purchaaser do to maaintaain supplier
performaance?
In order to maaintaain aa purchaaser-supplier relaationship, mutuaal contraact or
collaaboraation plaays aa maajor role. The process is much eaasier when buyers aand providers
work together to produce the end product. Buyer aand supplier caan develop aa scheme to
maake them sign aa long-term contraact aand the buyer should give engineer/quaality workers
aat the buyer locaation aand aalso reduce the raates or staations in order to help respond
quickly.
6.
AAre there some unique feaatures to custom paackaaging thaat aare relevaant here?
Braanco provides AAPC with paackaaging caartons for customer items. Some caartons aare in
unique sizes aand need to be individuaally identified. Maany orders were often smaall lots aand
requirements, which haad to be constaantly updaated. This forced Braanco to chaange
production operaations to fulfil AAPC's specific requirements. Thaat maay very well be why
efficiency, distribution aand response times were declining.
