Designing Criteria to Classify Suppliers by Quality Performance
A concise, decision-focused programme covering supplier quality classification end to end.
Course Overview
The cost of poor quality in supplier quality classification is rarely visible in any single budget line. Improvement in the practice within quality and productivity management that is not measured tends to be reversed quietly. The programme suits teams tackling the quality and productivity management capability together as readily as individuals attending alone. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of supplier quality classification rather than to abstract argument. It treats the practice within quality and productivity management as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Improvement in this part of quality and productivity management stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Field experience suggests that the barrier to better supplier quality classification is rarely technical. The programme builds the judgement to know which parts of the quality and productivity management capability to standardise and which to leave flexible. The programme closes with an action plan for this part of quality and productivity management that each participant writes for their own organisation.
