What are the emerging trends and technologies for enhancing supplier quality rating?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Supplier quality rating (SQR) is a key indicator of how well your suppliers meet your expectations and requirements. It can help you identify and mitigate risks, improve performance, and foster collaboration. However, SQR is not a static measure. It evolves with the changing needs and expectations of your customers, markets, and regulations. To keep up with these changes, you need to adopt the emerging trends and technologies that can enhance your SQR process and outcomes. In this article, we will explore some of these trends and technologies, and how they can benefit your purchasing function.

1 AI and analytics

Artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics can help you automate and optimize your SQR process. You can use AI and analytics to collect, process, and analyze data from multiple sources, such as supplier audits, inspections, feedback, and performance metrics. You can also use AI and analytics to generate insights, recommendations, and alerts based on your SQR criteria and goals. For example, you can use AI and analytics to identify patterns, trends, and anomalies in supplier quality, predict potential issues and risks, and suggest corrective and preventive actions.

Use analytics to automate the creation of supplier scorecards, incorporating various performance metrics such as delivery times, defect rates, and compliance with specifications. This provides a comprehensive and up-to-date view of each supplier's performance.

2 Blockchain and smart contracts

Blockchain and smart contracts can help you enhance your SQR transparency and traceability. Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that records and verifies transactions in a secure and decentralized way. Smart contracts are self-executing agreements that are stored and executed on the blockchain. You can use blockchain and smart contracts to create and manage your SQR agreements with your suppliers, and track and verify their compliance and performance. For example, you can use blockchain and smart contracts to define and enforce your SQR standards, criteria, and incentives, and to monitor and validate your supplier quality data and outcomes.

Blockchain e contratos inteligentes s?o tecnologias que ajudam a melhorar a qualidade dos fornecedores. Elas garantem que as informa??es sejam seguras e rastreáveis, usando um tipo de registro seguro e contratos automáticos. Essas ferramentas s?o úteis para gerenciar acordos com fornecedores, estabelecer padr?es e verificar se est?o sendo seguidos. Em resumo, tornam a qualidade dos fornecedores mais forte e transparente.

By leveraging blockchain's auditability, companies can ensure that their Supplier Quality Rating processes are transparent, accurate, and reliable, leading to better supplier performance and stronger overall quality management. For example A company uses blockchain to record every transaction and quality check with its suppliers. During an audit, the auditor accesses the blockchain to review all entries related to a specific supplier. They can see every delivery, quality check, and compliance record without worrying about data manipulation. This transparent and efficient process ensures accurate supplier quality ratings, identifying top performers and those needing improvement.

Existem ferramentas que realizam esse tipo de análise, mas o mais importante é manter a lista atualizada, consolidada, e definir processos que tenham aderência com o tipo de aquisi??o que é feito.

3 IoT and sensors

Internet of things (IoT) and sensors can help you improve your SQR visibility and accuracy. IoT and sensors are devices that connect and communicate data over the internet. You can use IoT and sensors to collect and transmit real-time data on your supplier quality parameters, such as temperature, humidity, pressure, vibration, and location. You can also use IoT and sensors to integrate and synchronize your SQR data with your other systems, such as ERP, CRM, and SCM. For example, you can use IoT and sensors to track and control your supplier quality conditions throughout the supply chain, and to alert and respond to any deviations or issues.

I have seen IoT and sensors used in manufacturing and distribution to monitor the performance of a machine. The ability to collect and digest data that is generated in tremendous volumes can help you to predict part failures (ball bearings, rollers, fan belts, etc) by monitoring their precursors or successors. for example, if a fan that operates at a constant speed of 200rpm starts to trend towards 190rpm that could indicate that the belt tension is dropping, or bearing wearing out. Those could be used to preempt a maintenance call for extra grease or tighten a pulley and subsequently a service order to replace the belt with lead time to get better pricing.

I can imagine that having sensors to monitor the CPP of a process is akin to real time monitoring of a process that should be maintained under a state of control!

4 Cloud and platforms

Cloud and platforms can help you streamline and scale your SQR operations and collaboration. Cloud is a technology that enables you to access and store data and applications over the internet, rather than on your own servers. Platforms are software or services that provide a common interface and functionality for different users and purposes. You can use cloud and platforms to manage and share your SQR data and processes with your suppliers, partners, and customers. You can also use cloud and platforms to access and leverage various tools and resources for your SQR improvement and innovation. For example, you can use cloud and platforms to centralize and standardize your SQR data and workflows, and to access and integrate best practices, benchmarks, and solutions.

The biggest advantage of cloud storage and compute is the access from anywhere and the instant scalability. Distributed teams benefit greatly from the ease of access. Teams that do intense data processing and analysis will likely see tremendous improvements in shortening processing time as the scale for that "call" can be exponentially increased and then decreased in a moments notice. Unless closely monitored there is very little probability of savings as a result of migrating to the cloud from on-premise.

Before implementing cloud platform: Ensure that all data stored and transmitted via the cloud is encrypted. Use robust authentication and access control mechanisms to protect sensitive SQR data from unauthorized access. Choose reputable and reliable cloud service providers with a proven track record. Assess their service level agreements (SLAs), uptime guarantees, and customer support services.

5 Social and environmental responsibility

Social and environmental responsibility (SER) is a trend that reflects the growing awareness and demand for ethical and sustainable practices in the supply chain. SER can affect your SQR in various ways, such as influencing your customer preferences, market reputation, regulatory compliance, and risk management. You can use SER as an opportunity to enhance your SQR by aligning your SQR objectives and strategies with your SER values and goals. For example, you can use SER to differentiate your SQR from your competitors, to engage and motivate your suppliers, and to create value for your stakeholders.

The process of monitoring the environmental impact has quite often proved to be a value add exercise in merely addressing the product or services being purchased. The ability to look holistically at the purchase and its total impact will likely highlight opportunities to streamline the production or reduce the over engineering that existed previously as you look to reduce the impact on surroundings.

Additionally to the monitoring systems and AI tools, it is also good to consider a well stablished alliance between supplier and buyer company. In automotive it is often used the term "Quality Improvement program", in which it is stablished a task force between two companies to help to improve the quality of the supplier. In that way, experts from both companies can align on objectives and strategies.

Here are two other advanced technologies applicable for supplier rating: 1. Augmented reality (AR) Buyer can perform remote quality inspection. Realtime rectification or rejection of products will accelerate the supply chain activities by avoiding unwanted downtime. 2. Machine learning (ML) ML algorithms can analyze historical data to predict potential quality issues and provide effective risk assessment
