IATF 16949:2016 - Quality Management System for Automotive Production 8.4.1.2: 8.4.1.2 Supplier selection process

The organization documents how it selects suppliers. The process includes: judging the risk the supplier poses to product conformity and to continuity of supply; how the supplier has performed on quality and delivery; evaluation of its QMS; decisions taken by a cross-functional team; and, where applicable, an assessment of software development capability. Further criteria that should be weighed include the size of the supplier's automotive business (absolute and as a share of its total), financial stability, how complex the purchased item is, the technology needed, adequacy of resources, capability in design and development, capability in manufacturing, the change management process, business continuity planning, logistics and customer service.
