Evaluation of suppliers

I have another question if you don’t mind. Are Supplier Questionnaires required? Currently we evaluate our suppliers within our incoming inspection plans and also in the yearly management review meetings. I understand that suppliers will now be called “external providers” now, so I’m trying to see if we can obsolete the questionnaire altogether and just make our supplier evaluation process stricter or if we have to keep the questionnaire procedure in place.

Answer:

The standard requires organization to determine criteria for evaluation, selection and monitoring of external providers i.e. suppliers, so you as a company can decide what kind of criteria and method to use to evaluate the suppliers. If you find your existing suppliers questionnaires redundant, you can exclude them from your supplier evaluation activities.
