Sourcing and expediting activities are technical twins and the activities require high level of discipline and technical excellence. Valve sourcing offices are blooming faster in India and they are either affiliated to a Parent Organization overseas or independent. Independent Valve Sourcing Offices work in collaboration with regional valve manufacturers and with Overseas Valve Manufacturers and bridge the Supply Chain gap between them.Quality Principles are necessary to maximize the performance of sourcing and expediting teams. ISO 9001 provides guidelines to practice quality management system and is also applicable to sourcing and expediting activities as well. Based on ISO 9001 and several other quality principles, this article provides guidelines to efficiently operate a sourcing and expediting office. Real time guidelines to operate principles such as KANBAN, 5S, 8D, FMEA, Statistical Quality Control have been presented in this research article and sufficient examples have been provided. This article will be an eye-opening manual to maximize the performance of Valve Sourcing and expediting teams
