The customer, internal departments, and potential suppliers contribute to designing quality into molded parts. Due to Road-Master’s strict quality requirements and just-in-time inventory systems, nonconformance results in high costs, hinders customer relations, and endangers

As a tier one automotive manufacturer that is ISO-9001 certified, are required to perform Layered Process Audits (LPA) to various protocols. These audits are monitored both internally and externally by our customers to identify variations in the manufacturing process that could lead to non-conforming parts. The current LPAs are slightly tailored for each manufacturing department, currently five different departments.

Marketplace, especially in technology business is growing fast and constantly bringing the new offers to the consumers. As a society we have an ongoing strive for newer and better things. It’s a part of the nature and it might seem like a race, but we tend to think that we can always have something improved. We get a phone, but the new model comes out a month later. We are most likely to go and get the new one, because it has more functions than our other phone. Do we really need that new phone? Probably not, but it’s the need for the newer and better things that will always be there and rule the marketplace. It is a great opportunity for the businesses to grow and to satisfy the consumer’s needs.

The effects of an AOR (action-observation-reflection) based Supplier Monitoring Program on the Quality of Strategic Supplier Performance.

The causes and consequences of BMW’s quality problems with newly launched products were plentiful and apparent all throughout the case study. For instance, BMW does not use pre-production tools during prototyping. This significantly lowers their opportunity to discover and fix quality problems earlier in the production process. Secondly, they let suppliers have a say in development after “cubing” has occurred. Unfortunately, if suppliers come across problems during the first production, they often don’t have enough time to fix it before new model introduction. Finally,

The competitive environment : competition from the industry can impact a company’s strategy and operation. For example if a competitor release a new or similar product that threaten to steal market share, an organization must be ready to change in order to retain its

The following recommendations have been made to BJB's Strategic Planning Committee to integrate the supplier alliance and metrics; first, it is important for BJB to analyze other companies' implementation of quality initiatives. In addition it must exercise good leadership in the implementation of quality initiatives in order to succeed in quality production of automobile compact disc changer in the industry. Second, it should apply Deming's 14 points to reduce product failure by implementing it in the strategic quality process in order to increase quality, productivity and competitive position (Tribus, 2012). The implementation of the Deming's theory by BJB Manufacturing is expected to yield positive results such as; lowering material and labor costs due to gains in operational efficiencies. The company is also expected to effectively increase profitability through continuous improvement and standardization of a proven quality process. In addition, with improved quality of their products, the company is most likely to reduce Customer complaints thereby improving customer complaint management. In the same line, Deming's theory is likely to influence the company's adherence to the best approach to levels of inventory. The company will need to appoint one supplier to manage variation in output, in addition to regulating new inventory thereby reducing the complex nature of taking inventory. This will also ensure that screening of wastage is performed and

This work is done to study the improvement of the quality in automobile industry. This chapter consists three sections named as “Problem definition”, “Objectives” and “Methodology of the study” respectively. The section 3.1 named as “Problem definition” describes the challenge or difficulty that is to be solved. The solution may be achieved after fulfilling the objective by using some sub-objectives that are described in section 3.2 named as “Objectives”. The methodology described in section 3.3 in details. This methodology has been devised keeping in mind the view of “Problem definition” and the “Objectives” that are suggested for the fulfilment of the solution for the problem.

QRM requires a strong relationship with raw material suppliers. To react to variable demand, a manufacturing firm must closely partner with suppliers that will quickly accommodate the firm’s production schedule. However, if the supplier cannot provide raw materials due to problems such as quality assurance/control, equipment repair or union labour, the manufacturing firm may not be able to meet customer requirements. This could result in stockouts and backorders.
