Partner 2 Win - Air Sector Supplier Centre

At BAE Systems we understand that the way in which we work with our supply base is critical to our future success. 

We are seeking to achieve operational excellence through the means of accelerating performance, collaboration and competitiveness with our key partners and suppliers. For the business to enable wider operational excellence, we must have robust performance and reporting measures in place and collaborative relationships with our key suppliers and partners.  Partner 2 Win will underpin our drive for operational excellence across the supply chain by creating a collaborative environment, embedding performance metrics and recognising sustained high levels of performance to BAE Systems.

Partner 2 Win comprise of four key elements – Global Scorecards (measurement), an Annual Supplier Symposium (recognition), Supplier Advisory Councils and Supplier Perception Surveys.

Supplier Advisory Councils

The Supplier Advisory Council seeks to provide the opportunity to share industry best practice, experience and feedback in an honest and collaborative face-to-face forum. The council will consist of approximately ten members from the supply base and 10 members from BAE Systems, along with a suitable chairperson.

The councils will meet twice per annum as a minimum, with outputs shared across BAE Systems and the attending supplier representatives to address best practice and review key themes borne out of the session.  Supplier attendance will rotate providing an opportunity for input from a broad cross-section of our supply base, from global multi-national corporations to local SME organisations.

Supplier Perception Surveys

The Partner 2 Win Supplier Perception Survey aims to obtain feedback from Partner 2 Win suppliers and identify opportunities for mutual improvement. The surveys will consider and request feedback on topics such as Relationship, Communication, Performance Management, Information Exchange and Profitability.

How do I get involved?

Partner 2 Win is a Global BAE Systems initiative that started off in our US business where the programme is now developing in maturity. We are now in the process of rolling out the programme across the rest of the business enterprise, including the Air Sector. As we continue our roll-out, you will be contacted by your supplier manager to discuss the programme in further detail, including the enrolment process.
