The goal of this paper is to present a proposal of systematic development and certification of suppliers, which was made through a study of a case between a world-class company in the metallurgical sector and its suppliers that work in the metal-mechanical assembly, but that can be applied to any company. The systematic consists of a method, based on fundamentals and development criteria, which cover all the parts of the relation company-customer, suppliers and final-customer, and are important for the generation of value for the chain, as well as steps, which are essential for the effective realization of supplier development. For the proposal, bibliographic references, data from development and certification models already structured, also performed analytical diagnosis of the client-company and its suppliers were used. The systematic proposal is based on lean mentality and it is able to clearly convey the intention of collaborative partnership, building win-win relationship and mutual growth between company-customer and suppliers
