Purchasing process: Director -III evaluates & selects the suppliers based on their ability to meet the company’s requirements. Suppliers are selected, evaluated and approved on the basis of their market reputation or past experience or approval of their sample. Approved suppliers are re-evaluated in April every year, based on quality & delivery performance of their supplied product during the preceding year. Re-evaluation results are informed to the supplier, with suggestions for improvement, if required. Approved suppliers’ list is updated based on their re-evaluation results, if required. Whenever required, suppliers are provided all possible guidance/ assistance for their development.
