Supplier evaluation

Answer:

I would remove the variable price from the equation decision. Does it provide a critical service? If it provides a critical service, it should be evaluated. For example, this morning I worked with a programmer that was speaking about the risk of using a module bought instead of one developed inside. One last point, besides supplier evaluation, I would consider an evaluation of the software itself, does it perform what is supposed to do?

The following material will provide you information about supplier evaluation:

- ISO 9001 – How to evaluate supplier performance according to ISO 9001:2015 - https://advisera.com/9001academy/blog/2015/10/27/how-to-evaluate-supplier-performance-according-to-iso-90012015/

Thanks for answering this. Well, this open source software will be used in the final delivered product to the customer. I suppose that suppliers evaluation doesn't related to purchasing as much as if the supplier services/products will be used in the building final product, right?

If you check ISO 9001:2015 clause 8.4.1, you will see that you have just mentioned 8.4.1 a). You can have also 8.4.1b) and 8.4.1 c)
