Course Overview

Variation in supplier quality evaluation is the enemy; averages conceal it. Most defects in the quality and productivity management discipline are designed in long before they are detected. The course leaves participants able to diagnose weaknesses in the quality and productivity management capability before they become incidents. It is pitched for practitioners with responsibility for supplier quality evaluation, not for observers of it. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the quality and productivity management discipline and prepares them for it. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place this aspect of quality and productivity management among the areas with the widest performance spread. It concentrates on the parts of supplier quality evaluation that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting this strand of quality and productivity management and under-invest in testing it. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the quality and productivity management discipline that participants can repeat annually.
