The Praxair Supplier Management Program
The Praxair Supplier Management Program is an integrated, communication and information-driven management process based on the continuous improvement cycle. It enables Praxair to identify and select world-class suppliers; provide our suppliers with opportunity for improvement via regular feedback; drive out inefficiencies and costs in the supply chain; and acknowledge our appreciation of those suppliers who consistently demonstrate excellence.
The Praxair Supplier Management Program is global. Praxair businesses throughout the world are implementing and utilizing this one program, and all of our suppliers will be assisted and managed in the same way. The performance of suppliers is measured, analyzed and assessed from this consistent, globally unified perspective.
Suppliers who are selected to take part in the program can expect a higher level of meaningful feedback -- communication and information that will help them improve their operations both locally and internationally. This feedback includes regular reviews with "Performance Feedback Report Cards" and access to in-depth analysis of areas for improvement. Successful participants can expect to enjoy expanding business opportunities with Praxair.
