Which Suppliers to Include in a Supplier Approval Program?

Hey Guys

Need some opinions and comments please

Currently I am looking into supplier approval....... I am looking only to have the following

Packaging

Chemicals

Food contact  - Belts machinery etc

Transport

Laundry

Currently the site I work for are getting the following;

Stationary

Office equipment

PPE - gloves, mop caps aprons

Is this really required

Please comment

Cheers

It's based on risk Aps. And a big question in the risk assessment would be

"can this supplier/product/service affect product quality or safety?"

Based on this I wouldn't include stationery or office equipment, but I may include PPE as it goes into the factory floor and could introduce potential contaminants into the product.

For non-Googlers, i guess

PPE = Personal protective equipment
