Visual scope of procurement · supplier due diligence

Certifications (must-have)

GMP+ FSA (Europe/global), FAMI-QS (feed additives/premix), ISO 22000 (food safety systems), plus origin-specific: SFDA (KSA), GACC (China), USDA/FSVP (US). Verify certificate numbers with the issuing body.

Audit history

Request the last three third-party audit reports (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek). Look for repeat findings, not just current status.

Financial due diligence

Two years of audited financials, D&B credit score, court judgments search. A supplier under working-capital stress is a delivery risk regardless of price.

Traceability & CoA

Batch-level Certificate of Analysis for every shipment, retained samples for 6+ months, HACCP flowchart with critical control points documented.

Reference calls

Two active buyers in your region who have taken material in the last 6 months. Ask specifically about consistency and complaint handling.

Contractual protections

Force majeure with defined events; quality tolerances with price adjustment; recall protocol; product liability insurance minimum USD 5M.

FAQ

Common questions

Comment Feed Supplier Qualification s’applique-t-il à mon programme d’achats ?

Nous adaptons le cadre à votre volume annuel, au nombre de fournisseurs, aux marchés d’origine et aux Incoterms préférés. La première réunion définit les KPI, le calendrier et les fournisseurs cibles.

Combien de temps avant de constater des économies ?

Les premiers benchmarks arrivent en 2–3 semaines ; les économies contractuelles pérennes se consolident généralement entre le T1 et le T2 après adoption d’une RFQ structurée.

Comment garantissez-vous qualité et traçabilité ?

Nous exigeons GMP+/FAMI-QS, un COA par lot, un contrôle mycotoxines et un audit documentaire avant d’homologuer tout fournisseur.

Accompagnez-vous le financement et les Incoterms ?

Oui — LC, assurance-crédit, ECA et structuration CIF/CFR/DAP selon la destination, sous réserve d’approbation des banques et assureurs.
