What we expect from you:
1. Quality products: zero defect goal
2. On-time delivery
3. Competitive costs
4. Adequate inventory
5. Technical knowledge
6. High quality service
7. Continuous improvement
8. Shared goals and commitment to the relationship


Our expectations of suppliers and ourselves-as identified in the relationship model-extend beyond the basic entry criteria that correspond to quality, delivery and cost to encompass service, technical knowledge, continuous improvement and more!

We set high standards that apply to Littelfuse and to our suppliers. Our suppliers are responsible for ensuring the quality of their products-with a goal of zero defects-meeting delivery commitments, and keeping costs competitive.

Suppliers in all relationship categories other than vendor are also expected to deliver high quality service, maintain appropriate inventory, demonstrate technical knowledge and make continuous improvements. To advance into the partner and alliance categories, we look for suppliers who are flexible, committed to growing the relationship and focused on the end user. In return, we provide the support, information and resources needed to help our suppliers meet these expectations, and to jointly achieve our goal of total customer satisfaction.
