Scope of Supplier Search in Turkey

Client Example for a Supplier Search Project

Client Situation: Our European client is an expert in sheet metal processing offering a variety of products from individual parts to whole system constructions. Rather than increasing their production capacity, they considered to source parts from Turkey from a supplier than can produce at the same quality level. In addition to the sheet metal parts, they were also interested in parts produced by casting and forging.

Project Scope: The kick-off started in the premises of our client with a comprehensive training of the products, the production processes, and the company. The ideal sourcing partner criteria for the long-list of candidates has been determined as:

Separate long-lists for sheet metal forming, casting and forging have been prepared. There were more than 30 companies listed for the initial review of our client. After various contacts by email and phone to learn the details, prequalification of the long-listed companies has been completed. In addition to the detailed analysis of their production technologies, export experience and machinery park details, additional criteria such as production capacities, foreign language capabilities, number of employees, turnovers, certificates, and experience in transport of special products have also been analysed.

There were 12 companies chosen suitable for further evaluation that were fulfilling majority of the initial requirements. Technical drawings and specifications for 5 sample products were sent to the attention of the candidates. We collected their feedback regarding their interest and capability. Price offers were collected from 5 of these companies as raw material costs, labour costs, and total ex-works prices.

Offers of the best 3 companies were selected and they were asked for production of paid samples. These samples were observed and controlled during the market visit that we organized and accompanied.

Result: One supplier has been chosen based on the product quality, timing, communication, technical capabilities, and location. Production & export of second samples after completing the required modifications were finalized by our guidance. We continued our support until their cooperation became routine. This supplier also coordinated the sourcing of casting parts from another supplier in Turkey.
