Customer Satisfaction
Our purchasing targets are driven by customer satisfaction and customer requirements. We work in cross-functional teams to receive the best value; a combination of function, quality, delivery and costs.
Quality
In purchasing we are responsible for supplier quality. We are striving for zero-defects in purchased goods and services. We work closely together with other departments to achieve this target.
Environmental Responsibility
Environmental issues are important to us, and as such we base our material selection on factors such as recycling and disposal in production, packaging and transport. The 100% conformity to the EUs RoHS Directive is essential for us, therefore all our suppliers have an obligation only to support and supply products that meet the Directives requirements. Here at Schaffner, we only accept material that conforms to RoHS.
Continuous Improvement
We continuously improve the structure and the processes of purchasing and of all procurement activities.
Global Procurement
We create competitive advantages for our company through systematic international procurement marketing.
Supplier Development
We need innovative and high performing suppliers for goods and services. We have open and fair long-term relationships with our suppliers.
Fairness and Openness
We make purchasing decisions based on facts and known criteria.
Information
Our activities are based on global information and communication transfer between suppliers and our manufacturing facilities.
Market and Products
We work with all departments to reduce costs of existing items and also work with new concepts to influence purchase suitability. It is an important task for us to involve competent suppliers early in the development process.
Associate Development
We are able to cope with the increasing requirements in the purchasing process by specifically improving the technical and soft skills of our associates.
