An important part of building a world-class supply chain is developing effective partnerships between Rolls-Royce and our suppliers and this is something that Rolls-Royce is committed to achieving at all levels in the organisation.

"We need to develop relationships that are challenging and demanding to both parties. To do this we need to begin to engage with suppliers as early as possible, develop trust and treat one another as an extension of one team".
Mike Orris, Chief Procurement Officer.

Organisational structures within Rolls-Royce are evolving to simplify our supplier interfaces and to build improved supplier relationships through optimising collaborative working practices, strengthening our processes and ensuring we adopt the appropriate relationship behaviours.

These changes will drive the achievement of differentiated technology, flawless quality, perfect delivery and optimised total costs.
