Information for suppliers

At Stemmatters, we continuously evaluate our suppliers to ensure the highest standards of quality and service. Our evaluation process includes:

Continuous quality assessment

Each external provider is qualified for each product or service it has supplied, regarding the binomial external provider/product or external provider/service, as applicable. For the binomial external provider/service, qualification is performed based on the external providers’ performance in the year considered for evaluation purposes. Based on the results, a scoring system* ranks suppliers as:

  • A (90-100): Good
  • B (70-90): Reasonable
  • C (<70): Non-approved

Suppliers without nonconformities automatically receive an "A" rating.

*Calculation formula is used for the final evaluation:

\( \left( 1 - \frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n} (Score_i \times i)}{\sum_{j=1}^{n} j} \right) \times 100 \)

i = supply with nonconformity detected
j = number of supplies

Annual evaluation

Conducted every January, focusing on four key criteria:

  • Level of service: timeliness and quantity compliance.
  • Quality: adherence to specifications and requirements implied in the order.
  • Price: compliance with the defined price.
  • Technical support: responsiveness, expertise, and issue resolution.

Stemmatters will inform all the products and services of external providers that did not comply with the “A” score.
