Supplier approval status shall be
updated based on the results of the supplier assessment and on-site audit, if performed.
3.2 Performance Evaluation
Avient utilizes the vendor scorecard system (and associated Supplier Performance Report) which
records and tracks supplier performance related to delivery, product quality and purchase order
(PO) requirements.
Changes in the supply chain (including material and process changes) must be notified to Avient
in advance.
