Purchasing - Neugart GmbH

Our vision

Future-oriented. Sustainable. Acting responsibly – In accordance with this guiding principle, we are committed to the quality of our products, to people and to the environment. Our quality, environmental and energy policy targets are therefore an important part of our corporate strategy − the basis for securing and developing our successes on the international markets in the long term!

We strive for "best in class" and want to exceed the expectations of the industry and create added value for our customers. Neugart is fast and we want to be even faster. In our “5-day gearbox” vision, our products reach customers within 5 working days. To achieve this, we need the full support and cooperation of all suppliers in order to establish and further expand our joint supply chain excellence.

"Our gearboxes move! Reliable, for life, we promise.”

Our purchasing strategy

The strategy and management system of our “best-in-class” suppliers must be aligned with the strategic orientation of the Neugart Group. These (target) suppliers contribute to our global customer advantages, which embodies benefits for the customer through outstanding product quality, innovative powers and supply chain excellence. To jointly achieve this customer benefit through further development and improvement and to promote close collaboration, we developed N-PEPS (Neugart - Program for Efficiency & Productivity of Suppliers) to drive a paradigm shift from typical customer-supplier relationships to value-added partnerships.

N-PEPS enables us to measure all the success criteria necessary for a resilient and high-performance supply chain using a 360-degree perspective, thus ensuring that our production is supplied without disruption even in times of fragile supply chains.

We procure where the need (i.e. production) and demand (market and customer) are. We harmonize our global purchasing organization and procurement processes. This means we buy "global, but local."
As a guideline for the "Neugart Supplier Relationship Management Concept", we have created a supplier manual, which we make available to you early on in the qualification process. It provides information about the Neugart Group's general requirements for its suppliers, describes the framework conditions and serves as a foundation for long-term, reliable, partnership-based cooperation on an equal footing. The manual provides a detailed insight into the selection and qualification process for new suppliers (source-to-contract) and describes the supplier management control cycle following successful inclusion in the Neugart Group's supplier pool.

Source-to-contract (qualification process)

We maintain a trusting relationship with our suppliers and see them as equal and important value-creation partners.
A standardized and interdisciplinary process involving several specialist departments ensures that the most suitable suppliers are selected and qualified to improve our competitiveness. Suppliers are identified, qualified and developed based on their economic, technical and logistical capabilities.
The qualification process is subdivided into 5 sub-processes or gates. Each sub-process must be successfully completed to be included in the supplier pool of the Neugart Group.
