The selection of business partners-suppliers by the Electricians’ Cooperative of Chania (E.C.C.). is carried out through an evaluation process based on specific criteria.

The main criteria taken into account are the following:

Adequate Product Availability: product availability is becoming one of the most critical factors that determine the quality of the Supplier-Customer cooperation at all stages of a supply chain. Adequate Product Availability: product availability is becoming one of the most critical factors that determine the quality of the Supplier-Customer cooperation at all stages of a supply chain. Since modern projects, large and small, require a fast pace in all phases of their completion, the availability of products becomes the focus of interest, as it directly affects the final result, i.e. the degree of customer service.

Organized Customer-Oriented Operation: an effective customer-centric organization of a Supplier has a significant impact on the service performance of the end-customer-consumer.

Is there a structured product code list with up-to-date catalogues and price lists?

Are orders being processed smoothly?

Is there technical support?

Is it possible to contact and get informed about the progress of orders?

Reliability and Consistency in the Context of Strategic Cooperation: The level of credibility, not only of the products but of the business as a whole, has a decisive influence on the extent to which a strategic partnership can be established. The long-term consistency of a company and the demonstration of reliability in what it promises (i.e. reliability of materials, delivery times of orders, flexibility in solving problems, etc.) are undoubtedly an added value that is taken into consideration when choosing
suppliers.

Product Range and Technical Characteristics: The technical characteristics of a supplier’s product offerings, and the corresponding range of alternatives offered, constitute an important
factor in the choice of supplier and products.

Rational Pricing Policy in relation to Quality: The prices products are offered, in relation to their technical and quality characteristics, are also a very important factor in determining the comparative preference of one supplier over another. For all the products offered, it must be ensured that the prices are rational and advantageous for the final customer-consumer. In this sense, the price of a product must be justified by what the respective product offers, such as reliability, usability, design, advanced technical features, ergonomics, etc.
