Choosing the Best Supplier

No doubt, you have a company process for selecting new suppliers. It will probably have the following stages:-

Clean Hydraulic Assembly Area

Obtain a detailed financial report.
Request a written quotation.
Carry out a supplier audit.
Confirm their quality certification.
Research their other customers.
Benchmark them against your present supplier or their competitors.
Evaluate prototype or test samples.

In order to get a good quotation you need an engineering understanding of the requirements of the component. This ought to come from a detailed written specification and will almost certainly require technical level discussions. We have come across many instances where the supplier drawing clearly states a performance level inferior to the requirement but the part has been purchased anyway, later to result in expensive problems. Engineering Inspiration have that detailed technical knowledge and can support your buyers before you commit.
