The purpose of the process will be to define how Avient identifies suppliers that are a potential risk to the overall quality management system.
The procedure outlines how supplier risk is made visible and actionable through the use of the “Vendor Risk Matrix” as well as understanding the status of the suppliers’ current management system.

We wanted to make it easier for our customers to
create durable piping systems by developing a plastic flapper
valve that could be easily fused onto polyethylene (PE) pipe.
System cost reduction = competitive advantage: The
PolyChek valve featuring Gravi-Tech materials offer
customers faster installation, less maintenance and
longer life
The PolyChek valve
gives API a critical competitive advantage today and into
the future, as heavy metals such as lead become even more
restricted.
