Create a new supplier onboarding checklist and questionnaire

Create a supplier onboarding checklist and questionnaire for my organization. What we buy from this type of supplier: [e.g. direct materials, contract manufacturing, IT services, logistics] Risk level of this supplier: [LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH - and why, e.g. "handles customer data", "safety-critical part"] Our industry and any regulations we must meet: [e.g. food safety, medical devices, defense, data privacy] Internal teams involved: [PROCUREMENT, QUALITY, FINANCE, LEGAL, IT SECURITY, SUSTAINABILITY] Systems: [ERP OR SUPPLIER PORTAL WHERE DATA IS ENTERED] Our current gaps or past problems: [e.g. "bank detail fraud", "no insurance on file"] Build the onboarding in tiers so low-risk suppliers aren't overloaded and high-risk ones are checked properly. Cover: - Legal entity, ownership, tax ID, and sanctions or restricted-party screening. - Bank details with an independent verification step (call-back to a known number) to prevent payment fraud. - Financial stability evidence. - Insurance certificates and limits. - Quality certifications and audit needs. - Information security and data protection, if they access our data or systems. - Code of conduct, labor, and environmental commitments. - Commercial setup: payment terms, Incoterms, lead times, contacts. - Approval sign-offs by team. Return: 1. A checklist table: Item | Required for (low/medium/high risk) | Owner | Evidence accepted. 2. A supplier-facing questionnaire with clear questions, grouped by section. 3. A simple workflow from request to active supplier with target days per step. 4. Red flags that should pause onboarding. Confirm regulatory requirements with legal or compliance.
