Responsible procurement

Schaeffler FAG Sourcing and Resource Use

Ask for packaging, repair and shipment information at the RFQ stage so it can inform the buying decision.

Keep environmental decisions traceable

We can coordinate a comparison of supplier packaging and shipment plans. When the platform permits a serviceable bearing, compare the parts replaced and the tooling required alongside a complete hub option.

Three checks to include in an RFQ

Packaging

Request carton dimensions, packaging material and the quantity per carton. Compare options against the agreed corrosion and transit protection requirements.

Repair scope

Check whether the platform supports bearing-only service and whether the seal, nut and circlip are available in the kit.

Consolidation

Check the weights, carton counts and lot segregation for each line before the appointed forwarder plans loading.

Ask for the records behind a claim

Any supplier document needs a clear owner, date and scope. Keep environmental declarations tied to the stated product, material or packaging.

  • Material declaration
  • Packaging specification
  • Shipment plan

Include your packing and shipment requirements

State which records the buyer needs before order release.
