HARMONIZING SUPPLIER QUALITY PRACTICES ACROSS DIVISIONS WITHIN A MEDICAL DEVICE COMPANY

About the Product
Includes 45 minute Windows Media Video File and PowerPoint presentations for immediate download.

Coordinating supplier quality initiatives within a large device corporation proves challenging when decentralized divisions have historically operated as a silo, creating individual protocols for supplier oversight. Centralizing supplier quality at the corporate level allows companies to create a harmonized procedure for qualifying, monitoring and auditing hundreds to thousands of suppliers while also benefiting from greater leverage in pricing and negotiation of supplier contracts. Some companies have even assigned a singular supplier quality executive or small group to manage a particular set of component manufacturers, in an effort to increase trace-ability should a product issue arise and to streamline supplier communication and interaction.

• Maximizing supplier quality efficiency throughout a large device company
• Identifying overlap in supplier to streamline communication and oversight
• A comprehensive infrastructure to manage supplier documentation
• Establishing a harmonized Approved Supplier List
• Integrating a supply base from an acquisition
