Supplier Evaluation
Products are becoming increasingly powerful and ambitious. Nowadays, hardly any company manufactures all of a product's components itself. Close cooperation involves suppliers in all phases of the product, from design to disposal. Supplier evaluation (iQ-LIEFBEW) helps to assess a supplier in terms of quality indicators such as quality, logistics, price, and service/systems, as well as different reports.
Workflow
The supplier-related modules provide condensed data on delivery quality to the iQ-LIEFBEW module. The data is then evaluated and classified using a defined procedure. The evaluation is carried out in a variety of ways, using standard overviews and statistics wherever possible. These cover the general requirements, but iQ-INFO also provides users with a system that allows them to answer their own questions in overviews, graphics, or even forms.
Important Features at a Glance
Different Perspectives
Delivery history of a supplier
- Items delivered by a supplier; individually and in summary for a period of time
- Delivery reliability for items from a supplier
- All deliveries with summary of results
Delivery history of an item
- All suppliers of an item with a quality rating
- Monthly evaluation
- Hit list of suppliers
- Delivery reliability of suppliers in comparison
Quality Assessment from Inspections
Initial sampling inspection
- Reason for the inspection, e.g., initial delivery, new change index, etc.
- Summary of measurement results for each characteristic
- Scope of the inspection
- Reference to the inspection order
- Usage decision for dimensional accuracy, material, and function; overall decision on use
Incoming goods inspection, event-driven IGI, re-examination
- Inspection order, inspection plan
- Evaluation for each characteristic as well as summary of measurement results
- Events of the inspector
Display of Quality Indicators
Summary evaluation of a supplier (weighting and evaluation). The quality data comes from the usage decisions of the inspections, supplier complaints (8D reports), ppm evaluations, and supplier audits of the iQ-BASIS modules, as well as from manually added assessments. You can create your own evaluation catalogs. The following are available as standard:
Logistics
- Deadline reliability
- Quantity reliability
- Delivery quality
Quality
- Initial sampling
- Series parts
- Complaints
- Customer complaints
Service
- Goodwill
- Due date 8D report
- Repairs etc.
Price
- Price comparison
- Price stability
Overviews of all inspection orders for the parts/supplier's combination, complete delivery history
- Initial sample
- Incoming goods
- Skip lots - Assumptions without inspection
- Review
- Event-driven checks (error analyses from quality notifications)
- Reports of all/individual parts of a delivery
- Reports of all/one supplier for a part
Display of Q key figures (VDA, Bosch) and ppm evaluation (list, graph)
- Monthly statistics QKZ, ppm
- Target specifications from ppm contracts
- Reference to the inspection order
- Multiple different material dispositions per usage decision
- Specification of quantity, disposition (free, return delivery, etc.) and complaint (OK, no dimensional accuracy, etc.)
- Evaluations by the dispatcher in the form of standard texts
Various statistical analyses
- Monthly quality indicators for suppliers per item
- Monthly quality indicators for supplier items
- Monthly statistics for ppm evaluations
- Pareto analysis of error types
- Complete evaluations of history and disposition
- List of the worst parts
- Evaluations for Bosch assessment procedures
- Throughput times of inspection lots
- Overviews for articles with ppm specifications
- Incoming goods overview with free choice statistical reports (incl. export) with various selection criteria
- Monthly statistics on complaints/supplier comparison
- Custom reporting; the customer can use the e.g. Crystal reporting system to create statistics, graphs, forms and reports
