REQUIREMENTS FOR SUPPLIER MONITORING AND EVALUATION

The suppliers of STOLZ, S.A. will be evaluated and included in the "Supplier List," which will indicate their classification to ensure service quality.

Supplier evaluations will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of this section.

When a supplier covers multiple specialties, they may be evaluated and classified for each specialty individually, or, by default, they will be evaluated globally with the necessary specifications.

1. Supplier Selection

The System Manager evaluates suppliers based on at least one of the approval criteria established by STOLZ, S.A.:

  • History
  • Financial and operational evaluation
  • Resources (facilities/employees)
  • Quality management system
  • Price references
  • Exclusivity or client-imposed

2. Initial Evaluation

The System Manager monitors the first three services provided by both new suppliers and those who have not worked with STOLZ, S.A. for over a year. Pending supplier approvals will be tracked by the System Manager using the "Supplier List" registration format.

If no nonconformities occur during the supplies, the supplier will be considered suitable (approved) and included in the "Supplier List." Should any incidents occur, the supplier must avoid further issues in subsequent services/products provided to achieve approval.

3. Inclusion in the Supplier List

Using the "Approved Supplier List" format and based on the supplier's identifying details, organized by specialties and, within each specialty, by supplier, the list will be kept updated and available on the server. Initially, historical suppliers will be classified as A, but suppliers who have not completed any work within a three-year period will lose their approval.

4. Supplier Classification and Re-evaluation

The System Manager assigns a score from 0 to 100 for each of the following parameters:

  • Agility in quotations
  • Economic conditions
  • Delivery time
  • Assistance and collaboration
  • Quality of supply/service

Suppliers are classified based on their results as follows:

  • A: Suppliers scoring >85
  • B: Suppliers scoring <85
  • C: Suppliers scoring <60

The System Manager prepares a list of all approved suppliers along with their assigned classification levels.

The System Manager continuously monitors approved suppliers using the number of "Nonconformity Reports," "Customer Complaints," or "Corrective Actions" generated for each supplier.

Depending on the presence or absence of recorded incidents and their significance, all suppliers are re-evaluated annually and, if necessary, assigned a new category.

  • STOLZ, S.A. has engaged in legal disputes with them.
