Analysis of Tracing Out Supplier Chain

The network has, among its main goals, the objective of analyzing a Supplier Chain of the participating businesses. As a matter of fact, tracing out a Supplier Chain is one of the most significant problems from the applications perspective not only of the Sa8000 standard, but also of other systems of social responsibility (discipline, conduct, etc.). Moreover, the same bodies of the Sai accredited field , based on the audits concerning the Sa8000 standard, demonstrate a lack in homogeneous behaviour pertaining to the assessment of the Suppliers and Sub-Suppliers Check. Therefore, the network has, among its goals, the objective of identifying the minimum standards of application and implementation of the same requisites regarding the use of the same questionnaire and the need of making second party assessments.  This new system will not only represent a socially responsible action, but also an opportunity for reviewing and optimizing business processes of those enterprises participating in the network and of those interested in future participation. Moreover, the analysis of the Supplier Chain will allow for greater information regarding the economic dynamics of our territory, in order to share it with the involved parties and identify the resulting actions of improvement. This process will create many opportunities for growth and development not only within the network, but also in the whole economical and production net of references. Every business has committed to distributing the downloadable questionnaire, available on this Website, to its suppliers and to analyze the replies in conjunction with the other businesses, in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the territory.
