Pre-qualification: We ask the vendors to fill out the “Vendor Information Form” for the preliminary qualification review. The staff at purchasing department then make a preliminary assessment of the vendors according to the “Vendor Information Form,” including their turnovers, main customer and products, and processing type. If a vendor passes the preliminary review, a field survey would be conducted; if not, its qualification would be cancelled.
Field investigation: The staff from the purchasing department notify the staff from quality assurance, and together they conduct field survey and audit regarding the vendor’s capabilities for manufacturing and quality management capability. The purchasing department fills out the results of the field survey on the “Vendor Field Survey Form” and “New Supplier Audit Form” and submit these documents to the authorized supervisor for review. Once the audit is approved, a “Qualified Vendor List” will be established; if not, other potential vendors will be cultivated.
