FAQ – Answers to frequently asked questions

Does GROB use a software for strategic supplier management?

Yes, GROB uses a Supplier Relationship Management software which efficiently and transparently controls the supplier management comprehensively from introduction to inquiry, allocation, contract management and supplier development to document management.

Do I stand – in times of the BCC Sourcing Trend – a real chance of a cooperation with GROB as a German supplier?

GROB assesses its suppliers in its entirety. Decisions on the allocation are based on the so-called TCO approach. GROB also assesses the criteria technology, quality and adherence to delivery dates and flexibility aside from the price and the conditions of contract. This gives innovative, small and flexible companies the possibility to come out on top in the international competition despite the factor costs disadvantage.

Do I have an advantage if I use GROB machines in my manufacturing?

GROB approves and supports that you have chosen our machines. If you fulfill all allocation requirements in case of tender, this advantage can be decisive for an award of contract to your company.

I am a special provider for single processes, such as heat or surface treatment, which most of the mechanical engineering companies do not consider as core expertise. Do I stand a chance of contracts with GROB?

It is correct that GROB places special processes externally. However, the complete part purchase is the strategic objective in the area of drawing-bound manufactured parts. Therefore, GROB prioritizes suppliers that offer material purchase and all manufacturing steps from one source and – if necessary – access their own supplier networks. 

Which requirements does GROB have on IT, software and formats of technical drawings?

For accessing the SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) you only require an e-mail system and an internet browser. For an efficient and continuous cooperation with GROB, you should use an ERP system which is connected to the GROB ERP (SAP, currently 6.0-EHP8/NW 7.50) via EDI interface. The GROB Engineering Department uses a software by the provider Siemens NX for CAD. For supplier management, GROB exchanges technical documents in common data formats (.dwg, .tif., .step). GROB provides large and sensitive data packages to its suppliers via the web server of the provider OpenDXM GlobalX.
