Today, minority and women-owned businesses are the fastest-growing segment of new business in the United States. As a result, most Fortune 500 companies currently employ supplier diversity initiatives. BIZPHYX assists companies and suppliers, experience better results from their initiatives, by designing supplier diversity support programs.
The Challenge For Companies
Your company has made the corporate commitment to implement a supplier diversity initiative. There’s an expectation that these diverse suppliers will be more flexible, able to reduce costs and bring a rich new talent pool of innovation into your supply chain. However, you also need to be sure that these smaller suppliers are able to meet the demands of your organization. Empirically, you know you should only form long-term strategic partnerships with certified quality organizations. In fact, the Company may require it.
Yet, how do you educate your diverse suppliers about quality management systems like IS0 9001 or TL 9000? Is the potential for opportunity with these new suppliers, worth the risk and exposure in your entire supply chain, if they’re not certified to a standard? What role can your Company play in helping these diverse suppliers get educated or certified?
The Challenge For Diverse Suppliers
You’re a diverse supplier that has just made it to several Fortune 500 approved vendor lists. Now what? You need to realize that your failure or success in a competitive marketplace, depends on your ability to continually develop overall competences and to become attuned to the needs of your corporate customer. If you cannot meet the quality standards of your customers, you won’t be doing business with them for long!
Companies expect suppliers to be competitive in price yes, but they also expect you to be a quality organization. If you're not, you can negatively impact their entire supply chain. Do you really want to earn contracts that can actually cost you your own business? Just like you needed a business plan for funding, you need a quality management system (QMS) that will give you the framework to consistently produce high quality products and services for your customers.Where is your place in the supply chain? >

BIZPHYX In Supplier Diversity Review (June 2010)
"...“Without these certifications, I can say we would not have met the qualifications for some major contracts we received in the past year. Not only did we receive the contracts, but when looking at the customer's requirements- implementation of a QMS helped us meet those requirements in such a way, that we are better able to deliver on-time and with fewer problems. As we look globally to other opportunities, registration to TL 9000 and ISO 9001 is a definite plus."

them compete in Fortune 500 supply chains.
