Optimizing Your Supply Chain Using Leaner Business Practices - Ensuring Greater Supplier Quality

Favorites

Managing supplier quality is essential to running a successful business. Yet, as OEMs continue to seek cost reductions, supplier specified tests are often skipped which leads to the shipment of lower-quality materials. At the same time, many OEMs are faced with reducing internal operations teams due to budget cuts. The leaner inspection resources are not as likely to catch poor-quality components.

In this webinar, OEMs will learn how to mitigate supplier quality problems with simple and reliable processes that deliver comprehensive, real-time quality data from outsourced suppliers, get root cause analysis of quality problems and remediate/charge back poor quality costs from the supplier. Through these tools, attendees will learn how adopters of the approach have lowered costs and achieved greater customer satisfaction.

Highlights of the webinar include information on the following:

Tackling supplier quality challenges in the global supply chain
Techniques to identify product-quality issues and get the “right” data from outsourced suppliers
Initiating supplier-quality processes for corrective actions and charge backs
Reducing time to identify and resolve supplier quality
Minimizing product liability and risks
Achieving optimal customer satisfaction via the delivery of higher-quality products
