Establish supplier quality requirements affecting supplier performance over time.
Building Systems to Track Supplier Quality Performance Over Time
A practical programme in supplier performance over time for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
A quality system for supplier performance over time that exists only for the auditor produces paperwork, not quality. Variation in over time is the enemy; averages conceal it. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the wider quality and productivity management agenda under scrutiny. Most organisations already have a policy on supplier performance over time; far fewer can show it working. Across sectors, teams that rehearse the quality and productivity management discipline outperform teams that only plan it. It is written for people who have to make over time work with the resources they already have. This programme builds supplier performance over time from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Every module pairs a short input on over time with structured practice on the participant's own material. The final module sets out how progress on the practice within quality and productivity management will be evidenced six months later.
