Better Boat Bunks(BBB) is a boat lift company, located in Lakeshore, Ontario Canada and has hired your purchasing team to source all the parts and components for their boat and PWC (Personal Water Craft) lifts. The lifts are designed to accommodate boats from 14' long to 26' long and all sizes of PWC's. The lifts raise the boats out of the water for protection. The appeal to customers is that the lifts are interchangeable with boat sizes, meaning that this one model can be shortened and/or lengthened in order to suit any size boat in their length range. The lift system is easy to use by one person and can be automated if the customer's request the addition.
The General Manager of Better Boat Bunks (BBB) has assigned your team of purchasing agents to source suppliers for all the parts and components of their boat lifts. She has instructed you to use your purchasing skills and knowledge to first create a RFQ to buy the components that BBB does not manufacture itself to produce a batch of 100 boat and 100 PWC lifts. Then your team will identify and explain your criteria for "qualifying" a source or supplier of these components to enable you to build the lifts in BBB's production facility.
BBB's strength is aluminum fabrication and has the capability to make all the aluminum parts (legs, crank wheels, brackets and braces) in their facility. The company usually fabricates 200 bunks (units) in a production run. The aluminum bunk frame is made from 16 pieces that are cut from an aluminum tube 1.5"SQ x .188"thick x 16' long. The crank wheel is 3/8" thick round aluminum tube with a 18" diameter cut and bent from a 10' tube
Note: The aluminum components are made by BBB, but they must buy the aluminum to make these parts.
