Communication is the key in every business agreement or joint endeavor. Clarity on the understandings, expectations, deliverables, resources always supports the cause.

Consistency builds trust and dependability. There should be no room for imagination and concocting on possibilities or events. Everything must be well defined and consistently adhered to. Dependability is always better than dependency! It’s exactly like preferring trust over speculation!

Like it is said, “act towards stakeholders the way you expect them to act towards you”! That simple is the integrity in business and professional engagements. Integrity is reflection of our behavior or actions when nobody is watching or monitoring us. Integrity builds trust while ingenuity destroys it. As you sow so shall you reap. Choice is ours!

Navigating supplier conflict resolution effectively requires a balanced approach. 1. It's essential to listen to both suppliers' and stakeholders' perspectives without bias. For procurement manager maintaining neutrality is the key. You need to assess the situation objectively without any preferences. 2. Once all viewpoints are understood, schedule a joint meeting to find a solution. Be a mediator and look for solution. Blaming each other is not an option. This approach fosters trust and strengthens partnerships, ensuring mutually beneficial outcomes.

Consider Supplier Non-conformance as an opportunity to enhance the relationship and work together towards resolution, rather than a stick to beat them with. Instead of sending someone in to audit them as a reaction, consider sending someone with strong CAPA capability and knowledge of the product or service in question, to actively participate in the investigation, problem solving and corrective action plan development.
