What is supplier screening and validation in product development?
Supplier prospecting and validation is a process in which potential suppliers are identified, analysed and selected for the supply of materials or services in a product development project.
At INFINITIA we carry out a complete supplier screening process that allows us to evaluate each supplier’s ability to meet the required quality, price and delivery time standards. This process ensures that each supplier is aligned with the project objectives and can deliver products and services consistently and reliably. Find out more below.
Phases for supplier prospecting and validation
1. Supplier prospecting process
First of all, we take care of the supplier prospecting process. In other words, we search for and study potential suppliers exhaustively so that they can meet the specific needs of the project. We consider factors such as location, production capacity and industry experience. We evaluate aspects such as delivery track record, ability to adapt to new requirements and financial stability of the supplier.
Hence, this analysis helps us to identify strategic suppliers that not only meet technical requirements, but also offer added value in terms of innovation and efficiency. In other words, a reliable and prepared partner for our customers.
2. Selection and evaluation of strategic suppliers
The evaluation and selection of suppliers is a crucial phase to ensure that each supplier meets the quality standards required by the project. In this sense, at INFINITIA we carry out a quality evaluation of suppliers through a detailed analysis of their processes, verifying that each supplier complies with the necessary certifications and regulations. In this way, we guarantee that the materials and components received comply with the technical specifications of the project.
In addition, the supplier approval process ensures that each selected supplier is prepared to deliver consistently high quality products. This approval is key to establishing long-term relationships and minimising risks in the supply chain.
3. Supplier validation for product quality
Supplier validation for product quality consists of a detailed analysis of production processes, quality controls and the ability of each supplier to meet the required standards. Consequently, we ensure that each component meets the quality requirements and that the manufacturing processes are aligned with the expectations of the project.
This control therefore enables our customers to rely on suppliers that not only meet technical requirements, but also deliver products consistently and meet delivery times.
Supplier management in product development ensures that every partner in the supply chain contributes to the success of the project.
4. Approval of suppliers
Finally, it is worth mentioning supplier certification. This phase is essential, as long-term quality and compliance standards and agreements are established with the selected suppliers. It facilitates communication and cooperation, allowing each phase of product development to be more efficient and aligned with the customer’s needs.
By homologating suppliers, we create a base of strategic supply chain partners who are committed to quality standards and established time and cost requirements. This enables our customers to have a reliable network ready to support product development on an ongoing basis.
Because we know what you need. An approved supplier aligned with the objectives of your project, who is the guarantee of a relationship of collaboration and trust.
