Process

Start at the Supplier Stage You Actually Have

Start with what exists today: candidates to compare, a new supplier need, or an active supplier with unresolved RFQ, sample, technical, or documentation work.

How the work progresses

Four Steps from Need to Delivery

The depth changes by project; scope, deliverables, timing, and responsibilities are agreed before work begins.

  1. 01

    Clarify Need

    Share the current supplier situation, stage, must-haves, timing, and available information. Confirm whether SLZEN is a practical fit.

    ResultProject Fit Confirmed
  2. 02

    Define Scope

    Agree the work, deliverables, inputs, timing, fee, responsibilities, exclusions, and customer authority.

    ResultScope & Deliverables Agreed
  3. 03

    Execute & Coordinate

    Perform the agreed evaluation, identification, technical clarification, or supplier follow-up. Keep evidence, questions, owners, actions, and blockers visible.

    ResultAgreed Work Completed
  4. 04

    Deliver & Close or Continue

    Deliver the agreed output and flag unresolved blockers. The customer decides whether to close, start another defined project, or define ongoing coordination if recurring work remains.

Evidence depth

Match the Evidence to the Project Stage

Keep supplier statements, supporting documents, and any separately agreed third-party verification distinct. Add deeper verification only when the project stage requires it.
