Supplier Escalation Process
Defines a Supplier Management Review process (SMR), a process for escalation of supplier’s issues affecting IMI Precision Engineering if normal controls are failing to achieve acceptable performance with the final step resulting in potential de-sourcing of the supplier. This involves both IMI Precision Engineering and the Supplier at various management levels.
Supplier Exit Process The multiple stages of escalation process can ultimately result in exiting a supplier if improvement and alignment of targets is not achieved. This document provides guidelines to support Supplier Exit process and ensure correct management.
