Suppliers are chosen according to requirements where the prerequisites for becoming a Scania supplier are carefully evaluated and we put the same high demands on our suppliers as we do on our own production units.

Each supplier is evaluated by all concerned cross-functions within Scania, which will rate the supplier according to their specific demands. In the end, a supplier will recieve ratings within the following areas:

• Sustainability
• Quality
• Logistic
• Financial
• After market
• Research & Development

All ratings will influence the sourcing decision and are seen as equally important. In the event of any bad rating, the supplier will be blocked from further business with Scania.

Continuous improvements

At Scania we are proud to work with continuous improvements and hence do we also support our suppliers in getting better. So for the suppliers that do not meet all our demands, we aim to put up action plans in order for our suppliers to reach a qualified level.
