Where does a Purchaser locate an OEM Supplier?
Sources of manufacturing service providers are many. Aside from utilizing the convenience and security of MyOEM.com, a Purchaser can start by first looking at Suppliers for past purchases by looking at purchase-order or Supplier-history files. Next, a company can ask company personnel in such areas as engineering and maintenance for suggestions. If a Supplier still has not been located, a Purchaser can then look for local Suppliers in the Yellow Pages. If no local Suppliers exist, a Purchaser can use library resources like the Thomas Register and Moody’s Industrials, which list information regarding Suppliers by commodity and company name.
