You're facing supplier conflicts over material quality. How can you ensure your products meet standards?

It must be 3rd party inspection before dispatch or regular quality checks during manufacturing at supplier end. Need to set up quality standards during ordering stage , about quality requirements each and every critical requirement must meet mentioned.

In my professional experience, we encountered an issue while procuring packaging material for an export consignment. The received materials did not meet our quality standards, and we faced a tight deadline for delivery. We promptly contacted our supplier to communicate the specific requirements and tolerance limits, emphasizing the importance due to the consignment's nature as hazardous goods for export. The supplier responded effectively, providing the correct materials. Simultaneously, we informed our buyer of the exact issue and requested an extension, which was granted, allowing us to resolve the matter efficiently.

You should use the APQP and PAPP tools from the ISO / IATF series to establish the requirements and system and process audits in advance and, as a suggestion, apply the ISO / IATF system audits and the VDA collection of standards to assess whether the quality system is functional and the capacity of the process to produce the products. Also apply PFMEA and DFMEA, which are analytical tools to prevent failures.

should be checking for COA &COC for each material and confirm by third party laboratory.at receive the material inspection and testing at Qc Laboratory if available then accept.

Suppliers capabilities must be checked regularly. Also, they must have sufficient capacity to supply quality material with the increased product demand.

O contato de perto com o fornecedor mantendo rela??es de confian?a é muito saudável para o bem da organiza??o, isso mantém a qualidade do produto e n?o gera transtornos na manufatura.

By implementing clear specifications, conducting regular audits, using third-party testing, and maintaining strong relationships with multiple suppliers, you can effectively manage supplier conflicts and ensure your products consistently meet high-quality standards. Adopting these practices will not only help in resolving current issues but also contribute to a more reliable and efficient supply chain in the long term.

Las auditorías periódicas se tienen que hacer en forma regular a los proveedores para verificar que cumplen con los estándares establecidos. -Inspección de Procesos: inspeccionar sus procesos de producción y control de calidad, así como los materiales proporcionados. -Fortalecimiento de relaciones: las auditorías son la oportunidad para fortalecer la relación con los proveedores, demostrando su compromiso con la calidad y la mejora continua.

To strengthen quality agreements with suppliers, use blockchain-based smart contracts to ensure transparency and immutability. Implement dynamic KPIs monitored by AI systems for continuous quality assessment. Deploy virtual audits with augmented reality technologies for remote and real-time inspections. Require ISO 9001, IATF or VDA certifications and periodic compliance reports

The specification of supplier quality should already be carried out in the Launch phase of the project so that the quality can be produced cost-effectively and meet the customer's requirements and not be solved after the SOP when it is already too late and generates more costs.

Clear and transparent communication channels with suppliers are essential. The SQE team must remember that they are supporting suppliers. Holding events such as workshops to share information and direct efforts helps a lot with this communication.

A comunica??o com o fornecedor é primordial, tem que ser clara a objetiva, a organiza??o tem o seu controle de qualidade e o fornecedor tem que estar apto a se enquadrar neste controle e caso haja algum imprevisto temos que ter este contato para agilizar a retomada da normalidade.

Una comunicación abierta y efectiva se establece con canales de comunicación abiertos con los proveedores para abordar cualquier preocupación relacionada con la calidad de manera rápida y colaborativa. -Sugiero tener reuniones periódicas y preparar informes de progreso para mantener un diálogo continuo. -Tener un punto de contacto designado para los problemas de calidad, garantizando así una gestión eficiente de las comunicaciones. -Feedback de Proveedores: abierto a los comentarios y sugerencias de sus proveedores, fomentando una comunicación bidireccional efectiva.

Actually I agree with this. Also let your supplier know you are open to a vist to come and explore the process. I think that this should come to your quality Inspector

All complaints should be stored and communicated on a regular basis from both quality engineers and input quality to external gate quality

Based on RCA, vendor must modify and develop SOP and action plan. Share it with customer. Customer can do scheduled audit with Suppliers regularly to ensure that SOP and action plans are followed, strictly

Improve root cause analysis (RCA) by using AI-based predictive analytics tools to identify patterns and predict failures. Implement real-time monitoring systems with IoT to collect continuous supply chain data. Adopt Six Sigma methodologies for a structured approach to problem solving, and use blockchain to ensure material visibility and traceability.

Consider how you, the customer, treat your supplier(s). In the early 1990s I was the export sales manager for an Irish confectionery manufacturer. We were approached by a German discounter called Aldi who were planning to open 35 stores in the UK. What an experience that was compared to other supermarket groups! They worked with us and agreed a range of just 4 types of sweets including wine gums and jelly babies. Every aspect from pack sizes to delivery schedules and payment terms were discussed - and they listened. We were became a team working together to maximise efficiencies and sales. They always paid promptly - every 30 days. They gave us precise time slots for deliveries. We were loyal suppliers but they were very loyal to us!

Root cause analysis is usually a complicated process and sometimes it is necessary to involve other external suppliers. It is mainly important to describe the process of formation and focus on eliminating the cause step by step. If you find the cause and its solution, you must define control activities to confirm that you have solved the right thing and that your corrective action is correct and that it is functional.

Building a relationships in the quality team...just like building relationships across the organization is important to achieving your goals together. Suppliers need to understand your viewpoints, like the quality expected from your team/customers...you have to understand the suppliers capabilities/abilities and viewpoints.

Combine traditional and modern quality tools for effective supplier management. Use Six Sigma and FMEA to identify and mitigate risk, while Lean and A3 help eliminate waste and improve processes. Implement IATF, ISO, and VDA audit systems to ensure compliance and standardization. Leverage AI and IoT technologies for real-time monitoring and predictive analytics. Establish clear KPIs and use blockchain for traceability and transparency. Promote transparent and collaborative communication with suppliers to ensure that quality is a shared value. Focus on customer satisfaction by ensuring that products meet or exceed customer expectations.

Quality is essential. To ensure quality, we need to establish clear requirements and implement checks and balances. It's important to certify and regularly audit the supplier's processes. Some effective methods include: - Requesting line inspection and final inspection reports from the supplier and comparing them with our random inspections. - Collaboratively developing and maintaining jigs and fixtures used in both the supplier's and the customer's incoming inspection, ensuring regular calibration to align both parties. Most importantly, transparency in evaluating and addressing issues will minimize friction and allow us to focus on improvement.

Don’t wait until a quality issue has surfaced. Build quality performance metrics into supplier scorecards and review jointly on a monthly or quarterly basis from point of award for key supply relationships. Continued volume and future award should be understood as contingent upon acceptable quality performance - great incentive for timely resolution.

Uma das maiores perdas um processos produtivos automatizados decorre de problemas de qualidade com matéria prima como por exemplo embalagens. Definir os limites de tolerancia das principais propriedades relevantes no processo produtivo é de fundamental importancia. Outro ponto importante é que devem ocorrer inspe??es por amostragem no recebimento do material bem como uma inspe??o final antes de coloca??o em maquina. Perdas decorrentes de qualidade insatisfatória que sejam comprovadas devem refletir no contrato de presta??o de servi?o e nível de servi?o acordado evitando recorrência e minimizando impactos.
