Getting the Information You Want and Need From Your Suppliers

Abstract

Tim and Fred discuss the different kinds of quality information that’s available from suppliers, and how to make sure you’re getting what you really need in order to avoid reliability issues.

Key Points

Join Tim and Fred as they discuss some of the reasons why the standard test results provided by suppliers at quarterly reviews are not sufficient to manage quality.

Topics include:

• The importance of sharing information across all elements of the supply chain
• Why supplier test results may not be giving you the answers that you really need
• The importance of process monitoring to avoid product failures
• The danger of losing all internal expertise in manufacturing processes
