Pirelli tire sourcing and supplier review

What each review produces

1. 01

   Specification intake

   Capture size, load index, speed rating, axle position, tread and quantity by size. Keep required attributes separate from preferences, so an offered substitute has a clear approval path.

2. 02

   Comparable quotations

   Bring each supplier offer into one comparison with its SKU, packaging, MOQ, currency, Incoterm and named place. List the cost of samples and tooling separately. A single award keeps the quote and dispatch record together. A split award can cover size gaps but needs separate lot records and cutoffs.

3. 03

   Sample coordination

   Ask the supplier to identify the sample by size, tread, service description and marking photos. Record the buyer’s acceptance criteria in advance and carry approved changes into the order specification.

4. 04

   Inspection coordination

   Agree the check plan with the buyer and an independent inspector before scheduling. Set sample selection, sidewall checks, tread measurements and packaging criteria. Ask the supplier to match its legal entity, SKU and report scope to the offer. The inspector records findings, and the buyer decides how to handle exceptions.

5. 05

   Shipment checklist

   Reconcile line quantities, packing list, lot identifiers and consignee details. The supplier confirms readiness, the carrier confirms freight movement, and the buyer or appointed broker handles import clearance.
