Sustainable sourcing
DAF has designed robust supply chains with a strong focus on continuous improvement, which is fully embedded in our sourcing decision making. This means we apply Six Sigma methodology to improve on all major performance indicators, including environmental aspects.
With over 2,500 suppliers for production and services, we emphasize supplier performance and management to ensure continuous improvement achievements in the areas of product development, operations and aftermarket support. This program uses a balanced scorecard to monitor supplier performance, among others, supply chain sustainability as one of its KPIs. We want our suppliers to care for the environment and have plans in place to continuously improve on lowering waste. The KPIs are measured by an annual sustainability questionnaire.
Realizing best solutions together
We challenge our suppliers to actively seek new ideas and suggestions for reducing energy and even more efficient and environmental-friendly production and supply processes where possible. To maximize each other’s expertise and innovations, suppliers are involved early in our product development processes (simultaneous engineering) to jointly realize the best possible solutions.
Beside delivering high-quality parts and products, DAF expects partners to also be socially responsible, with equal treatment of all of their employees, offering social security and providing a solid working environment: physically and in terms of mutual respect.
