10 suppliers scoring above average
Suppliers do not match client sourcing criteriaPoor scoring results
Little export experience and limited capacity
We suggest to include them in RFQ step for reference
Potential suppliersWe Recommend to move forward for RFQ with TOP 10 Suppliers
1. RFQ2. Samples3. On-site Audit
© 2016 Dragon Sourcing. All rights reserved. 21
Based on scoring results, we recommended to go further with TOP 10 suppliers for RFQ
• Based on scoring results, Indian and Thailand suppliers have very little experience exporting. They do not meet the requirements in order to be considered as a potential supplier for client Trading products. Nevertheless, for benchmarking, we would suggest to ask them for quotation in the next step
• We recommend to go further with TOP 10 suppliers who obtained a score above average
• Suggested Next steps : 1. Request for Quotation2. Request for samples3. On-site visit/ On-site Audit
