Qualification
Phase 0
Verification of your registration

You tell us that you are interested in a cooperation. In the registration form you enter basic data such as the company, address, contact person and categorize your service offer.

→  We check whether your service offer could be of interest to us and inform you about how to proceed.

Phase 1
Pre-qualification

In consultation with you, we learn more in detail about your service offer and get a rough overview of your organization and your economic background. You will receive more detailed information about our needs and qualification requirements.

→ We decide whether we want to qualify you as a supplier. Based on the available information, you decide whether a cooperation is of interest to you.

Phase 2
Qualification

The scope and depth of the qualification process greatly depend on the complexity, the technological demand and the scope of the specific need.

If the requirement is high, we usually carry out potential analyses in your production facilities, audit processes and systems or have samples produced. For complex purchased parts with high technological requirements, we also carry out test series for technical validation and verification.

→ The content, scope and start of delivery are determined in this phase. We decide on the necessary qualification measures and negotiate the commercial conditions.

Phase 3
Long term cooperation

As part of a continuous supply relationship, your service offering becomes a regular part of our value creation. We regularly evaluate your performance as a supplier. We will extend our cooperation if there is a positive development and the corresponding potential.

→ Regular decision on measures to optimize our business relationship.

General

As a globally positioned company, we stand for sustainable business not only with our technologies, but also with our corporate processes.

Accordingly, the alignment of our supply chain is extremely important. We expect our suppliers to be involved in the implementation of sustainable processes. We see the implementation as a joint and long-term task.

Compliance with social and ethical standards is important to us! We therefore expect our suppliers to accept our Code of Conduct.
