Procurement: Collaboration between Fronius and its suppliers
Strategic partnerships
We endeavour to supply the right product at the right time, in the right quantity and the right condition, to the right place for the right customer and at the right cost. To fulfil the “7Rs”, we take an active approach to supplier management and actively establish strategic partnerships with our suppliers through joint development activities. Strategic partners enhance Fronius’ core know-how through their expertise, increasing the company’s innovative strength.
Continuous development
When it comes to our suppliers, we believe that reliability, efficiency, a sound financial footing and the responsible use of resources are of the utmost importance. We carry out a supplier evaluation at least once a year to determine potential areas for improvement. This helps our suppliers to ensure that they are consistently meeting Fronius’ high requirements and facilitates targeted development of the company as a whole. In addition, Fronius carries out audits on a regular basis in order to continuously monitor quality standards. Active components are also subject to regular cost audits. This enables suppliers to routinely optimise their procedures and processes and therefore work more efficiently.News
The Fronius supplier day
This year’s Fronius supplier day took place under the heading “Focus on quality – perspectives from the supply chain. On 22nd May 2019 representatives of 80 European suppliers from different industries gathered at the Fronius site in Sattledt for an informative and exciting day. The participants which consisted of managing directors respectively sales and quality managers exchanges about current topics round off quality within the supply chain. The program included Fronius company information, expert presentations and an exciting panel discussion.Overview of purchasing departments
We think in terms of purchasing categories rather than countries or suppliers. This results in an organisation based on purchasing departments that specialise in specific goods and services.
