  Supplier Surveys: How Do Your Suppliers Rate Your Performance?

This presentation will outline how companies can develop and implement a supplier survey process, which can improve supplier – customer relationships and enhance supplier management. Traditionally, communications between customer and supplier were one-sided, and candid feedback from suppliers was viewed as negative. Supplier feedback is often filtered by the supplier's sales group, who do not want to offend their customer. Learn how one company implemented a supplier surveyprocess with its suppliers, and how honest supplier responses helped improve overall supplier and customer relations. This presentation will benefit not only purchasing and materials management professionals, but anyone with external or internal customers who can provide honest feedback on the performance of their department, plant or company.
