How does TFS select our preferred vendors?
Our process for supplier selection is based on the following principles:
- Product Line Coverage – A full line of products, with superior quality, low lead times, at a competitive price.
- Technology Roadmap – TFS requires our manufacturers to have a solid plan for research and development.
