Responsibilities and Authorities
The LMI Aerospace, Inc. Supplier Management and Procurement (SM&P) Department has the responsibility and authority to contract for MRO, capital, raw material, parts, processing, logistics, subcontract needs, shop and office suppliers, and services in a manner consistent with the needs of LMI Aerospace, Inc. The responsibilities and authorities include determination of source of supplies, commitments, negotiation of purchases, delivery and return of goods. These decisions are made in consultation with other departments, as appropriate, to ensure product or services are of the correct quality, quantity and price, and are provided from the appropriate source of supply.
SM&P is the channel through which normal requests regarding price, product, and delivery are made. Employees representing other functional areas may contact suppliers (or potential suppliers) for the purpose of acquiring technical or other information, but have no authority to commit LMI Aerospace, Inc. contractually or financially.
Supplier Relations
It is the policy of LMI Aerospace, Inc. to treat all suppliers fairly and impartially while seeking to develop long-term relationships that benefit both the buying and selling organization.

Suppliers are encouraged to share suggestions for product improvement and cost reduction opportunities, as well as updates on market and product information.
Supplier Visits
To conserve both your time and ours, supplier visits are customarily by appointment only. Again, in the interest of time, you are urged to be well prepared for your visit. A "Supplier Introduction" form can be used to identify the types of information the buying group typically finds to be useful. Please contact the appropriate buyer to make any visit arrangements.
