Independent China procurement desk

About Goodyear Procurement Desk

We help purchasing teams translate vehicle duty, tire markings and delivery needs into one brief that suppliers can answer. This desk operates independently from The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company.

Build a sourcing record you can reuse

Our aim is a trail a buyer can reopen when a line is reordered or a supplier proposes a change.

  1. Specification record

    Capture the size, load index, speed rating, route and acceptable substitutes. Use a marking such as 225/45R18 95W as a formatting example. On a tire-and-wheel package add pitch circle diameter (PCD), wheel offset (ET), center bore, rim width and load rating.

  2. Decision record

    Keep comparable quotes beside the approved sample, supplier site and open scope questions. A single source simplifies change control. Multiple sources need independent lot and document records. A catalog program can reduce drawing and tooling review when the SKU already matches. A custom program adds a separate sample and marking approval.

  3. Handover record

    Connect each packing row to its SKU and lot. Record where risk and delivery responsibility transfer under the agreed named Incoterm place.

Checkpoints on a buying project

  1. Intake

    Brief accepted

    Separate mandatory limits from buyer preferences.

  2. Review

    Quote shortlisted

    Resolve changes to axle position, tread or marking.

  3. Verification

    Sample and scope aligned

    Check sample ID and model scope before purchase approval. Request matched rolling resistance conditions when comparing values. For a wheel-end sample, reconcile the OE cross reference, hub flange and ABS encoder ring.

  4. Release

    Exceptions signed off

    Refer label, quantity and packing deviations to the buyer.
