Sourcing

The Munksjö Group Procurement organization adopted a structured method to ensure a complete, systematic and professional sourcing process.

Step 1 - Qualification

In the first step of the sourcing process the supplier receives an invitation to send qualification material. A number of suppliers are invited to participate in Step 2.

Step 2 - Tender

Munksjö Procurement issues a tender document containing specification and RFQ (Request for quotation) form. Munksjö Procurement evaluates the supplier?s capabilities, value creation, TCO (Total cost of ownership) and incurred benefits.

Step 3 - Workshops

The sourcing process is designed to establish long-term supplier relationships. By screening out non-relevant suppliers in each sourcing step we make sure that the suppliers we work with are the "best fit" for our organization.

Step 4 - Negotiations

The results of the workshop are openly discussed, including the impact on TCO as well as all savings ideas. Once product, price and place are agreed upon, the agreement is signed and implementation (Step 5) will start.

Step 5 - Implementation

Munksjö Procurement and the supplier(s) jointly plan and coordinate the global/regional/local roll-out. This cooperation gives both parties the opportunity to achieve optimum compliance with the agreement Step 6 - Supplier Management.

Step 6 - Supplier Management

We continuously promote a close working relationship with our designated suppliers to ensure continuous improvements and efficiencies.
