- Spare parts and consumables for the above.
How qualification works
- 1. Initial line-card review and capability check.
- 2. Sample qualification by engineering.
- 3. Commercial alignment on volumes, lead times and payment terms.
- 4. Onboarding into the centralized supplier database.
- 5. Ongoing performance review (quality, OTD, communication).
- Typical first cycle: 4 to 8 weeks from initial contact to first PO on standard categories.
Commercial terms philosophy
- Long-term contracts preferred over spot purchases.
- Forecast-sharing with strategic suppliers — quarterly minimum.
- NDAs supported and signed in advance for sensitive line-cards.
- Payment terms standard per category; deviations possible against documented commercial value.
- Volume commitments subject to rolling forecast accuracy.
What we expect from suppliers
- Honest line cards and accurate stock data.
- Predictable lead times with proactive notice on shortages.
- Documented authenticity of components (authorized channels for active parts).
- Responsive communication; English working language is acceptable across regions.
- Notification of EOL / NRND positions ahead of formal announcement, where possible.
Compliance and trade restrictions
- Suppliers expected to provide RoHS, REACH and conflict-mineral declarations on request.
- Trade-restriction screening run on every onboarding.
- Country-of-origin declarations expected for components and materials.
- Audit access supported on contractual basis with strategic suppliers.
Capacity and forecast sharing
- Rolling 12-month forecast shared with strategic suppliers, quarterly minimum.
- Capacity reservations on long-lead items against firm forecast.
- Joint planning sessions on demand for ramps and EOL transitions.
How to start
- Email procurement@dannie.cc with company name, line card and category.
- Include preferred regions, key parts and volume profile in the first message.
- No general sales calls before line-card review.
