Maersk Procurement and the supplier(s) jointly plan and coordinate the global/regional/local roll-out. This cooperation gives Maersk Procurement and the supplier the opportunity to achieve optimum compliance with the agreement. At this point, A.P. Moller - Maersk’s internal marketing resources may be utilised.

Debrief of suppliers
Through dialogue, Maersk Procurement works towards long-term relationships by continuously improving our suppliers’ performance.

Suppliers may receive a debriefing, providing feedback on how to improve performance in the future. Maersk Procurement advises suppliers on how to customise performance to suit A.P. Moller - Maersk which helps improve the suppliers service to similar large customers.

A world of possibilities
To guarantee the greatest benefits for our organisation and our suppliers, we use considerable internal marketing resources to promote the new agreement. This includes:

• promoting agreements via the A.P. Moller - Maersk intranet
• initiating awareness seminars with internal A.P. Moller - Maersk stakeholders
• using e-learning tools to train internal customers in the new processes, where appropriate
• utilising IT tools to monitor compliance

Naturally, we expect a future supplier to participate in these activities where relevant.

What is next?
