Suppliers could be Blacklisted when they don't have the Capability or the Capacity your company is looking for, as per Nadeem Asghar's answer.

 

A more positive way of looking at this instead of a Blacklist may be putting together a list of approved suppliers who have confirmed their business meets a number of criteria including:

- cash flow and other account information showing they are a stable business

- they have always paid taxes they should

- they have never been prosecuted for fraud or bankruptcy 

- they have good experience in the relevant industry with good references

- they hold any relevant  industy accreditations (eg. ISO standards)

- they have never been prosecuted for poor environmental or labour practices

 

Hope that helps

During the course of business, a buyer may encounter suppliers who are found to be indulged in unethical practices or have caused considerable loss or have seriously violated contract need not to be entered into business contracts again. Such buyers are put on a list called as Blacklist and kept away from business transactions. However, putting names on a Blacklist may be permanent or for a specific period depending upon nature of default.

Hello Amin,

 

SCM departments have always some performance criterion for suppliers. (See  the requirements for ISO 9001 or TS 16949)

 

Some performance criterionsa are:

1-) ppm target: defact ratio for 1 million. Most of automotive OEMs ask for their suppliers between 30-600 ppm. It changes on the sector of supplier. For example electronic component suppliers 30 ppm but , casting metal suppliers (non-machined) 600 ppm. If any company exceeds ppm targets it must develop itself for next period. If the problems go on it is in black-list.

2-) Delivery Performance: (On time, avarage day of delays, more than required, less than required) The supplier must reach at least %99 delivery performance on time, no more than required, no less than required quantity. If it has less than %99 it is a big problem for automotive sector.

3-) Certification: ISO 9001, TS 16949, OHSAS, ISO 14001 are must! No tolerance!

4-) Price flexibility: Each company has its own cost/price management criterions for suppliers. Yearly improvement of cost or discount promised.

 

Sure there are some other factors for falling to blacklist for a supplier but those above are common rules.

When a supplier is found involved in unethical business practices, he shall be blacklisted at the earliest. 

For all the other defaults one shall wait until all possible guidance and help has been provided to the supplier and he proves himself unworthy of your attention.

One of the first places to look is the US Table of Denial Orders. In addition the Embassies or Higher Offices diplomatic restrictions list would be useful. You can get them on-line. Only do it through official sources. You must be certain that the information that you get is genuine.
