Quality management system and its supply chain management are based on maintaining long-term partnerships with suppliers with a focus on their reliability. The paper contains a case study of the presented approach application in a small sized organization and a description of the software tool for supporting the process of supplier evaluation in organisations. Presented case study validated used approach in real conditions of a small sized organisation. Based on experience from the application of the approach, possible extensions of the approach for more accurate supplier evaluation are presented in the paper.
