Collaboration

To optimise the value creation chain, STILL operates an integrated supplier management. The bases for this are:

• Early incorporation of our suppliers into the development phase, to be able to grasp and implement recognisable potentials even at this stage.
• The build up of long term relationships with suppliers, who as partners in value creation, not only manufacture individual parts, but increasingly act as suppliers of assemblies or systems.
• In our disposition methods, to do away with individual call-offs and move towards a supply synchronous with production.
• Convert Quality Inspection into a systematic Quality Assurance with early advance information of malfunctions.
• Competitive prices and costs, measured at a world market level.
