A supplier can get the raw materials for manufacture of the goods as also the finished product/imports

In the case “Metalcraft Supplier Scorecard”, the author uses an example of a decision-making problem regarding to which supplier should Metalcraft choose to lead to the topic of the Metalcraft supplier scorecard. Metalcraft, as a component designer and manufacturer, supplies a few largest automobile manufacturers with vehicle parts all over the world. As one of the tier 1 suppliers, Metalcraft offers and ships finished parts and components using in the automobile production process to automakers.

To help mitigate the supplier risks, determine the supplier’s attitude to safety, quality, and environmental aspects to delivering components. Another treatment would be to appoint an onsite supplier liaison manager responsible for signing off on any supplier and/or design changes. It would also be helpful to have back to back contracts with sub-contractors.

When you’re choosing a supplier, you’re not just choosing a particular product, but the people who push that product as well. Issues or late shipments are inevitable, but when those things happen, you want to feel confident that you’re working with professionals that will solve things quickly.

Due to running our own manufacturing plant we are able to implement more strict quality standards. One of every ten products will be thoroughly inspected and one in every 1,000 will be real life tested to ensure that each batch comes out with equally great quality. Western Kicks upper management will also have annual meetings with suppliers to discuss quality expectations. Those meetings can happen more often if necessary and all supplies will be inspected before being used for a batch. If more than 1 in every 50 of an item have to be discarded or returned due to quality problems, a meeting must be held with the supplier as soon as business allows.

In addition, Complex parts performance was excellent over the past year. Complex parts supplied with high quality products and services which was meeting all the requirements of quality suggestions made by Deere. Complex Parts was active in all Deer’s business activities such as weekly visit of sales engineers, participation in cost reduction strategies, staying up with Deer’s design changes, and following the Deere Product Quality Plan. However, they are under the conditional classification because of their delivery performance which was 155,000. The customer service failed to respond to the phone calls and they also failed to follow the Deere Quality Plan at their new facility. Some of the Complex Parts products not met the Deer’s target cost and reduced profits on these products. The requested price quotas not provided on time. The alternative courses of action would be considered for Complex Parts to find the supplier that can supply the same part and have a fairly good rating. Parts have to be purchased from Complex Parts and another supplier. The team should make recommendation to the project manager to keep Complex Parts as their supplier. They have to send quarterly reports to Complex Parts which provides immediate and constant

The major issue is concerning who is accountable for the faulty product received at the Phillips plant and how the issue is to be resolved. Underlying issues include, who should pick up the overtime expenses, storage expenses, delays in operation, additional labor expense, and overall, the repair expense. Another problem is possibly due the issue of transportation, being that the product supposedly leaves our plant at the desired quality, but is sub-standard upon arrival.

Our preferred settlement for the issue, the twelve types of modules, is to maintain a 95 percentage or a better quality because it is important for the modules to maintain 95 percentage when produce. Our opening request for the issue is to use the sampling methods on inspection because below standards unit are bound to get through and expense of dealing with the products are normal business expense to Phillips plant to accept like any other plants. Trading off issues in the bargaining mix, we are willing to trade the issues with the twelve types of modules with Phillips plant. The one, who is accountable for the solution, is Crawley plant because they are causing difficult to Philips plant. Especially when their products are under 95 percentage below the quality level, they must explain why twelve types of modules are under 95 percentage and defend their reason to negotiate a better price or solution to their products. They must report to the Vice President of Manufacturing of their problem. Crawley plant must be involved in the issue, since they are the one sending the modules to Phillips plant. They need to set up goals because it will help in the future to avoid the same

Serious adverse event reports (encompass death, life-threatening events, hospitalization, disability, congenital anomalies, and/or required interventions, and disabilities) and recalls related to medical device are due to failures in the quality systems during the pre-market activities. The number of adverse event reports has increased dramatically; these post-market issues uncovered the failures in the quality systems such as design controls and production and process controls that could be a strong predictor for recall root cause. The number of complexity of medical devices has grown rapidly. In parallel, the medical device supply chain has become increasingly cost competitive and globalized. The quality systems that manage the evolving complexity of medical devices together with multiple layers of thousands of raw material, component, and sub-component suppliers, all of whom potentially impact final product quality and performance.

Case Study Background: Precision Worldwide, Inc. (PWI) manufactures industrial machines and equipment for sale in numerous countries. Repair and replacement parts account for a substantial part of the company’s business. The replacement part in question, steel rings, occur in the machines manufactured only in PWI’s Frankfurt Germany plant, but can also be used on some competitor’s machines.

The objective of my research is to obtain a general overview of non-conformance records (NCR) that are routed back for defects in the aerospace industry and how it has impacted the integrity of the airplane. Non-Conformances on an aircraft or any other product or service has had an impact on the manufacturing process of a corporation. The documenting of defects has lessened the value of a product or service and often leads to the customer choosing to walk away from a deal, forcing the manufacturer to seek another buyer at a reduced rate. Over time organizations have invested a large amount of time and money to track and manage non-conformances by implementing processes and procedures to assist in reducing or preventing the amount written.
