Vendor vs supplier
In everyday use they mean the same. Where a difference is drawn, a supplier provides raw material or components on an ongoing basis, while vendor is the broader word for anyone who sells to you — including job workers and service providers.
Approved vendor list and rating
An approved vendor list (AVL) is the set of vendors cleared to supply each item. Vendors are rated on on-time delivery, quality (rejection rate), price and responsiveness, and the rating decides who gets the next order.
Example
A plating job worker, a steel trader and a transport company are all vendors to a fabrication unit.
