Michelle
Wen, Executive Vice President, Global Purchasing and Supplier Quality, Groupe
PSA, said “In a context of fierce competition, Purchasing has a key role to
play in terms of performance for projects and serial life production phases. We
are looking for “QCD” (Quality, Cost & Delivery) performance, not only the
lowest cost per part, but also TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). The Monosokuri
approach, gathering engineering, manufacturing and purchasing will make the
difference towards competitors, and our sourcingwith Indian suppliers will lead
to newer verticals and opportunities to meet customer needs and respond to the
technological shift. This summit also focuses on developing and integrating a
broad network of Indian suppliers through encouraging collaborative product
development, orchestrating and connecting information across the supply chain,
and understanding an ecosystem of suppliers and partners within it.”

The
ethical, environmental and social criteria are crucial for the selection of a
new supplier, that are regularly assessed by a third party. This assessment
covers the following topics: environment, labour practices, fair business
practices, and sustainable procurement. This assessment is used for the risk
identification and for the selection of sites to be audited. Each supplier
assessed receives a score card covering all relevant aspects of the evaluation.
