Documents updated April 2008

The purpose of SABRe is to formally communicate our requirements and expectations to the supply chain, both in terms of performance and improvement. SABRe is available to view on this site.

Based around the stages of the product life cycle, these documents and associated forms and training materials are freely available on this website.

It is the responsibility of each supplier to become part of this vision and to align their own business practices to deliver the excellence required. SABRe is therefore the foundation of the customer / supplier relationship.

These documents and processes are essential for the achievement of the Rolls-Royce vision, defining the way that Rolls-Royce suppliers will be selected, managed, evaluated and developed.

They are updated every six months to give you access to all the information you need to meet our expectations.

It is also the responsibility of each supplier to establish processes which ensure compliance with SABRe requirements and measure their internal performance accordingly.
