Phase XLVII / Supplier Competition Board
Make suppliers
compete on one truth.
The competition board converts approved supplier candidates into controlled RFQ participants. Every supplier receives the same specification, quantity, quality standard and commercial assumptions.
Competition doctrine
ONE SPEC.
MANY QUOTES.
Price is compared only after normalising currency, Incoterm, freight basis, tooling, packaging, payment terms, MOQ and quality assumptions. Missing evidence remains visible rather than being silently estimated.
