For the company, reducing delivery times to increase efficiency is paramount, as logistical costs and delays in material deliveries are issues that need to be addressed. This requires suppliers who can meet their deadlines and agreements.
“We are looking for business partners who are responsible and consistent, and who provide attentive follow-up with their clients,” said Erika Hernández, Indirect Buyer at Woco Tech de México. The procurement expert noted that to be part of their value chain, suppliers must be formally established, offer competitive prices, and ensure excellent quality and delivery times.
“For us, it is also very important that suppliers are reliable and fulfill their promises, both in terms of quality and in response times for quotations and delivery dates. Post-sales support is also of great importance, meaning they should be attentive to their clients' needs,” Hernández commented.
Currently, it is estimated that 80% of the company's indirect inputs are sourced nationally, with only 20% being foreign. However, they continue to seek more Mexico-based suppliers to further enhance their logistical and delivery efficiency. The company is currently looking for suppliers of spare parts, machining services, and other related services.
