Definitions
Dispute Resolution: A process for resolving differences between two or more parties or groups. In business practice the resolution seeks to achieve fairness for all participants.
Procedure
Should a dispute arise, the initial relevant parties should try to resolve at the transactional level by contacting the supplier direct and discussing the issues which have arisen. If no satisfactory outcome is achieved, it is the responsibility of the initial relevant parties to document all the facts relating to the issue and inform the relevant GSCD whom is responsible for the given category of supplier.
At this point the GSCD will take control of negotiations directly with the supplier management / senior management in order to reach resolution whether through contractual review or an amicable outcome. If, again no resolution is made, the GSCD will then escalate through the Manheim Ltd hierarchy to take control of the negotiations. This process will then continue as per the below escalation examples. Once a resolution has been agreed, communication will be made to the initial party of the outcome.
