Quality and Delivery Expectations: Comco evaluates vendors as per our ISO requirements. Vendors are evaluated, and ratings are based on the results of the incoming inspection reports generated for all products entering our facility during the review period in question. We have established and set the supplier community’s overall performance goal at or above 88%. For your reference, please find below the rating legend that explains how we rate our supplier community

An overall performance rating of 77%, at minimum is expected from our suppliers. Suppliers only achieving a marginal rating of 66% through 76% should be concerned. Two consecutive months of Marginal Performance require a Corrective Action and Improvement Plan. Suppliers with on Overall Rating of 65% or less are considered unacceptable and will require immediate supplier action for improvement before Comco is able to purchase from that vendor again. This overall performance rating represents the arithmetic mean of your on-time delivery rating. The supporting detail resides on file at COMCO Plastics, Inc. and can be provided upon request.
