There are numerous suppliers on the market whose performance is often difficult to assess from the outside. In addition, suppliers in this area also act as development partners and the proportion of services is correspondingly higher. For this reason, it is advisable to gain an overview of the specifics of the industry before selecting a new supplier for rubber and plastic products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42cd994 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"42cd994\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does the supplier selection process for rubber and plastics work?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-591eceb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"591eceb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>At the basic process level, supplier selection is the same in all companies. The purchasing department first researches potential suppliers for the materials (based on internal or external information) and creates a short list. It then looks in detail at all the manufacturers on this list, crosses off those that turn out to be unsuitable, and selects the supply partner who best meets the individual decision criteria.<\/p><p>The second phase, <strong>supplier evaluation,<\/strong> <strong>is particularly challenging<\/strong> in rubber and plastics processing. The reason for this is the low degree of standardization of these materials.<\/p><p>In the metal sector, there are firmly defined products, for example steel grades, which always have the same properties. Purchasing can therefore concentrate on finding a supplier who offers the material required by the design at the most favorable conditions.<\/p><p>With rubber and plastics, this is only the case to a limited extent. Both plastics and elastomers are materials with a wide range of properties that depend on their specific composition. Although there are standardized products (for example, certain types of silicone) that suppliers also have in their portfolio across the board, these are not suitable for all areas of application.<\/p><p>As a rule, <strong>customers need rubber compounds or plastics that are individually tailored to their needs<\/strong>, depending on parameters such as ambient temperatures, mechanical loads or vibrations.<\/p><p>Only a few manufacturers are able to design rubber and plastic articles that adequately meet their criteria. This is because the core competencies of most manufacturing companies tend to lie in the <a href=\"https:\/\/jaeger-gk.com\/en\/blog\/rubber-metal-in-construction-differences-and-similarities\/\">metal sector<\/a>. They simply lack the know-how to deal with plastics or elastomers. If they do need a corresponding component, whether plastic parts, composite parts or molded rubber parts, they call on the <strong>consulting services of their suppliers<\/strong>. This circumstance should also be reflected in the selection of suppliers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-73ad9cd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"73ad9cd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/jaeger-gk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bilder\/Projektbesprechung.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-9153\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1e97bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1e97bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Beratungsgespr\u00e4ch auf Grundlage technischer Daten<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-993fee5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"993fee5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What you should look for in plastic components or molded rubber parts<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aab2dbe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aab2dbe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Hard factors such as price, delivery conditions and product quality also play a major role in elastomers and plastics and should by no means be neglected.

As far as plastic and rubber products are concerned, however, this can only be recommended to a limited extent. The low level of standardization makes it difficult for customers to assess the quality of the material in advance. At the same time, suppliers in the low-price sector offer fewer advisory services, so customers sometimes inadvertently select an unsuitable material for their components. In the rubber and plastics sector, a strong price orientation can therefore result in restrictions with regard to product quality.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, there are <strong>other decision-making criteria that should be part of the supplier evaluation apart from price.<\/strong> These include, for example, service, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaegergroup.com\/en\/blog\/6-tips-for-more-supply-security-how-to-make-your-resource-procurement-crisis-proof\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">delivery reliability<\/a>, local proximity and good accessibility, if possible with fixed contact persons in customer service to facilitate contact between customer and supplier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sustainability<\/strong> has also become an integral part of modern supplier management. Requirements such as the lowest possible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaegergroup.com\/en\/blog\/climate-protection-reducing-co2-emissions-with-intelligent-product-design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CO2 emissions<\/a>, environmentally friendly materials and a transparent supply chain free of human rights violations are part of every company&#8217;s specifications and should be conscientiously reviewed. Not only because of legal requirements, but also because sustainability has become an intrinsic concern for many decision-makers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b92dd41 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b92dd41\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a36b7cb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a36b7cb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;motion_fx_motion_fx_scrolling&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;motion_fx_devices&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;]}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In essence, supplier selection for rubber and plastic products is little different from other areas. The process is the same, only the focus is different. Soft factors such as transparency or honest communication at eye level have a higher priority, as rubber and plastic require a higher proportion of consulting.<\/p><p>All molded parts are individually adapted to their intended use; standard products are few and far between. For this reason, manufacturing companies for rubber and plastic are usually not looking for a simple supplier, but for a development partner who can support them in material selection, optimization and design. You should definitely keep this circumstance in mind when selecting a supplier.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bf87f20 e-con-full
