Procurement Activities

Tokai Rika's Purchasing Division procures parts, material and equipment for automobile products.
These are human interface products that deliver the intentions of a person to the vehicle, the security products which protect the customer's vehicle as an asset and the safety products which protect human lives.

Tokai Rika drives global development of parts, material and equipment which are superior to quality, technology, cost and delivery based on following 5 principles aiming for "Optimized Global Procurement".

1. Open mind policy
   • We provide fair trade opportunities unconditionally to any supplier who wishes to conduct business with us, no matter their nationality or company size.
   • We conduct supplier selection based on a 360 degree evaluation, such as quality, technology, cost, delivery and stability, but also based on attitude for continuous improvement and legal compliance.
2. Long term relationship
   • We would like to develop a good and long term cooperative relationship with our suppliers, aiming for mutual growth.
   • In order to achieve this goal, we believe that it is important to create robust mutual trust based on close communication through various practices together.
3. Promoting "Green Procurement"
   • We harmonize the Monozukuri and environmental conservation because manufacturing activities and protecting the environment are inseparably linked to each other.
   • Based on the above concept we are committed to improve environmental conservation with keeping in mind to purchase environmentally friendly product from suppliers who share this same commitment.
