BAE Systems Electronics, Intelligence & Support recognizes that its ability to meet customer needs, and be the premier global defense company, depends on the extended enterprise of the supply chain.
The company is proud to work with a diverse range of large and small companies, and knows these relationships are critical to continuously improving and meeting customer expectations.
EI&S requires strong, resilient relationships with agile, reliable, innovative, and competitive suppliers at all levels, particularly those who see a clear opportunity to add value and help EI&S provide solutions to customers.
Emphasis here is increasingly placed on open architecture, systems integration, and through-life capability management. Suppliers must be flexible, and open to adapting their interactions and work with EI&S to deliver a through-life service to our customers.
EI&S intends to maximize the value added by the wealth of innovative technological skills and capabilities at every level of the supply base, and work with suppliers from any background or industry to match innovative capabilities with customer requirements.
BAE Systems takes a tiered approach to supplier management, which ranges from full, strategic and operational performance partnerships with our most strategic major suppliers, to performance management with our general supply base. Performance improvement depends on open communication and clear, two-way improvement plans.
Most importantly, EI&S strives to conduct business in a principled manner, maintaining the utmost integrity and respect for its supply partners.
