Four integrated applications
The Supply Chain Quality Management application set includes four applications composed of Production Part Approval Process, Receiving and Inspection, Supplier Corrective Action Request and Supplier Rating. These applications integrate with third-party systems and enable comprehensive supplier scorecards based on quantitative and qualitative performance metrics.
Production part approval process (PPAP)
Evaluate components and subsystems from suppliers, establish clear design specifications for supply chain partners and monitor supplier compliance. Manage product and process change requests, submissions, approvals and waivers to build supplier confidence.
Receiving and inspection
Gain better control over supplier inputs by incorporating the process of receiving supplier components into your organization's internal processes. Set up inspection schedules and create sampling plans and skip lot profiles based on supplier performance.
Supplier corrective action request (SCAR)
Identify, fix and record quality issues traced back to suppliers using the same corrective action procedures used internally. Track investigation and resolution, assess nonconformance risk and monitor deviations from standard processes.
Supplier rating
Build comprehensive supplier scorecards based on quantitative and qualitative information on up to five dimensions of performance. Automatically update critical metrics, generate supplier reports and make informed future sourcing decisions.
Third-party system integration
Integrate seamlessly with SAP, Oracle and other third-party systems to track supplier material and chemical information, collect supplier ratings and streamline data flow across your enterprise for enhanced supply chain visibility.
