Total Cost Solutions, Inc. offers a proven Supplier Development Program that fosters a cooperative team approach to relationships.

 Historically both supplier and customer  have maintained an "arms length" relationship  focusing on purchase price as it's primary driver. Our  programs create a new systematic approach in which product quality, service performance, shared supply programs, and total procurement cost have an equal if not greater weight than the initial purchase price. 

We will show you how to put value into your relationships through service and process improvements.

The select group of vendors supplying the most critical items will become true business partners, sharing both the rewards and risks of a closer working relationship.

The Objective: 

Our supplier development program objective is to create a dynamic set of projects and programs designed to guide development and interaction with the supply base.

The Goals: 

The implementation of a new set of supply chain management initiatives will show definite profit improvement by:

• Ensuring high levels of product and process quality.

• Achieving inventory cost reductions through leveraged purchasing, shared planning, and simplified process administration.

• Establish a framework for supplier performance.

• Support qualification and selection criteria of suppliers.

• Provide mechanisms for improved communications between customer and supplier.

• Greatly contribute to bottom line profit improvements.
