At Bentek, Supplier Management is made up of several elements: Initial Supplier Selection, Supplier Qualification, Material Acquisition and Planning and Supplier Performance Management.

Suppliers to Bentek are managed by cross-functional teams, with the goal of attaining the lowest total cost of ownership. These functional areas include Purchasing, Quality, Manufacturing Engineering and Finance (where applicable).

This response assumes that all material procurement is the responsibility of Bentek and material supplied by is on a non-consigned basis. Bentek will manage the Approved Vendor List (AVL) for this program and plan material acquisition according to lead-times and inventory models needed to effectively support requirements.

Bentek is fully capable of performing all of the material planning and acquisition activities associated with supporting manufacturing. The purchasing team currently supports multi-million dollar material throughput annually. To assure material is available when needed, Bentek utilizes the MAPICS Syteline ERP System. Should schedule changes occur, this system allows planning simulations to be done in order to respond more quickly with reschedule acknowledgements.

Data is shared continuously with our Supplier’s showing the quality of performance of their parts through our manufacturing process. This review is the responsibility of the Bentek Quality Engineer. It is also their responsibility to manage the Failure Analysis/Corrective Action response to non-conforming material in the process.

Quarterly, Bentek reviews each supplier based on criteria established as part of our Performance Rating System. Suppliers are measured on performance to delivery schedules, process quality and price targets. This information is shared with the Supplier.
