Suppliers

The main benefits of the supplier performance monitoring programme are not only to promote competitiveness among suppliers, but also to increase satisfaction levels and leverage a positive financial impact on GenoMed®.

GenoMed®, together with its suppliers, identifies opportunities for improvement with an impact on cost reduction, increased quality and greater commitment.

The evaluation of suppliers of goods and/or services with an impact on the product and/or service provided is a tool to evaluate the performance of each supplier/supply in terms of compliance with established requirements/contractual obligations. The main objective is to stimulate the continuous improvement of its activities and raise the quality levels of the products/services provided.

Every six months, GenoMed® promotes the evaluation of suppliers, considered critical for the development of its activity, taking into account their typology and according to the following performance evaluation criteria:

The final evaluation of the suppliers is carried out by means of a weighted average taking into account the degree of importance of the points evaluated. Their final rating ranges from 0 to 2, with 0 being Not satisfactory, 1 Satisfactory and 2 Good.

If a supplier obtains a Not Satisfactory rating, he should be informed.

Note: Single suppliers will not be excluded or suspended. However, the supplier must submit an improvement/corrective action plan which must be followed so that the proposed deadlines and objectives are met.
