Spanish term or phrase: programa de tracción de proveedores

"Podemos destacar a modo de ejemplo las siguientes fuentes de información y comunicación:
Proactividad con proveedores:
***programa de tracción de proveedores***, evaluación y mejora continua, reconocimiento a proveedores."

From a document setting out a company's quality control and objective-related procedures. The word "tracción" is causing the problem. No answers with "traction", please.

supplier enablement / engagement program

Explanation:
It’s not a typo. It seems to refer to large, influential companies bringing their suppliers in line to obtain certain desired effects.

Apoyar el proceso de tracción desarrollado por organizaciones con capacidad de influencia propiciando de esta manera la digitalización de las empresas traccionadas.
Descripción
Mediante un compromiso de colaboración de las empresas tractoras con la Administración, se promoverá la elaboración de planes de digitalización que afecten al conjunto de las empresas proveedoras y colaboradoras dentro del ámbito de influencia de dichas tractoras. De este modo se incidirá de forma coordinada sobre la cadena de valor.
Por otro lado, se apoyará la ejecución de las acciones de digitalización de las empresas traccionadas para cubrir los requerimientos propuestos por las empresas tractoras.

Programa de la promoción de la Producción Limpia en empresas industriales proveedoras de las grandes empresas participantes en el Plan de Tracción de IHOBE

Además de los Programas Ekoscan ya citados, también se han lanzado otros en colaboración con las empresas participantes en el Plan de Tracción de Proveedores de IHOBE, S.A.,. En estos programas participarán únicamente las empresas que indiquen las correspondientes empresas tractoras, entre las cuales se incluyen ITP, Mercedes – Benz, CAF, Maier S. Coop., Fundiciones Urbina y Darnobat.

(If you look up “empresas tractoras” you’ll find quite a few more refs.)

I have seen some refs. to “supplier enablement” or “supplier engagement” that I think might fit this description.

This paper defines full spectrum supplier enablement as enabling all of suppliers to do business in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible. Full spectrum supplier enablement is an integral part of a complete supplier relationship management (SRM) strategy. Successful SRM can occur only when the user have fully engaged all their suppliers.

Supplier Engagement: A thorough understanding of your supply-chain can help you identify and seek opportunities for improving business relationships and managing environmental risks. We can work with your company to:
• Conduct initial analysis of your supply chain including material and substance analysis
• Develop supplier management and training programs
• Build strategic partners
http://www.fivewinds.com/services/services_ProductSustainabi...

I’m not 100% sure that’s the exact translation in English, but at least the refs. will give you an idea of what it means in Spanish.

I still like \"engagement,\" even with your added context, but here\'s another one for you: \"supplier mentoring program.\" I think that expresses it nicely.

Many thanks for the response everyone, but I think this option best expresses what the company is doing (thanks for your comments about "traction" though, Jennifer). As for the adjective I'm going to use "actively engaged suppliers".

some ideas : traction is all about pulling, drawing, hauling...

Explanation:
one well-known theory concerns the push-pull method i.e. either you push people into doing things (largely against their will), in which case you meet with resistance, or you try to "pull" them (think "pulling girls" and you'll see what I mean!).
This could be a supplier "pull" programme.
Can't say I have ever heard of it but I'm pretty sure it is something along these lines.
