Design a practical operating method for supplier deviation handling that fits the organisation's size and maturity.
Designing Protocols for Handling Supplier Quality Deviations
A practical programme in supplier deviation handling for professionals who are accountable for results, not just awareness.
Course Overview
The cost of poor quality in supplier deviation handling is rarely visible in any single budget line. Most defects in this area of quality and productivity management are designed in long before they are detected. The content is relevant to those who own the wider quality and productivity management agenda and to those who are held accountable for its results. It concentrates on the parts of supplier deviation handling that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. Participants gain a realistic view of what this strand of quality and productivity management costs and what it returns. Participants apply this area of quality and productivity management to their own operating process throughout, so the output is directly usable. Buying a tool rarely fixes supplier deviation handling; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The most reliable predictor of sound the quality and productivity management discipline is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make this strand of quality and productivity management sustainable.
