A Proposed Scheme for Supplier Certification Program for Non-Private Company

Abstract

Supply and supplier management are essential for the sustainable success of a company. The company is more dependent on its suppliers, so effective supplier control is necessary. One of the methods used to control suppliers is through supplier certification and supplier audits. Non-private companies are responsible for providing services to society, so the continuity of material supply from reliable suppliers is crucial to the company’s ability to meet customer needs and expectations. This study proposes a supplier certification scheme through supplier audits for non-private companies, particularly those in the public sector services. Literature on suppliers, supplier management, audit, supplier audit, supplier certification, and public procurement are reviewed to develop the proposed scheme. The proposed scheme for non-private companies is developed based on supplier life cycle management, capability and performance of suppliers, and collaboration and building relationships principles. The supplier certification scheme consists of capability audits, follow-through audits, improvement programs and performance evaluation.
