Translation of "Critical supplier" in German

The next crisis or next emergency will certainly come (e.g. a power failure, flood, loss of a critical supplier).

Choosing a supplier with a global service network is critical, and the supplier should ideally have a well-developed service offering specifically for ballast water treatment.

Last but not least, it is also used in some TMVR (Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair) products that are now coming onto the market as critical supplier products.

Companies are making more of an effort to identify critical suppliers and analyze their production locations.

We make BCM become part of our ongoing risk management program and our collaboration with business critical suppliers.

We already delivered BCM training to our business critical suppliers in China.

Newly selected business critical suppliers and service providers fulfill minimum criteria (as defined in Directive K15)

In the future, this will be joined by timely and critical evaluation of suppliers' services and associated risks.

Only a few are in a position to carry out on-site inspections, and this action tends to be reserved for their most critical suppliers.

Our supply chain strategy includes a sustainability target to assess existing business critical suppliers and service providers, and to abandon those below expectations who fail to improve.

We have established a program to risk-assess these critical non-tier 1 suppliers in collaboration with our business critical suppliers.

Easily collect critical data from suppliers, including code of conduct surveys and performance metrics for scope 3 reporting.

We conduct more in-depth risk assessment and due diligence of critical suppliers, including analysis of the following important areas:

It is precisely this aspect that characterizes our audit methodology: thanks to several combined indicators, the most critical variants, documents, suppliers and customers can be identified quickly.

In 2017, with the support of our critical tier 1 suppliers, we identified 1000 critical tier 2 suppliers, of which 300 were high-risk suppliers (the number is higher compared to 2016 due to the project).

However, we found out that risk rises if we include suppliers in tier 3 and higher, because a couple of raw materials are agricultural products that tier 2 suppliers source from countries that rank high in the modern slavery index. We work with our Tier 1 supplier and their own critical suppliers in order to make sure that the risk of potential human rights violations at tier 3 level is mitigated.

Among our own suppliers and their own critical suppliers ("tier 2") we didn't find any signs of child labour or modern slavery.

For business critical suppliers located in countries with high levels of corruption and bribery, procurement managers need to complete an anti-corruption compliance questionnaire to identify any risk of corruption.

For example, business critical suppliers, of which we have around 1,000, provide goods or services that meet one or more of the following criteria:

With Zero Outage as the end-to-end maxim, top management is involved in the event of critical incidents and suppliers too are required to ensure maximum quality in accordance with the zero fault principle.
