Know your suppliers
Tools for the suppliers behind your parts: classify supplier risk with a weighted model, right‑size incoming checks with ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 sampling, and score performance over time. Open a read‑only preview anytime; create an account to fill them in and save your work.
Classify, audit, sample, score & correct
Start by classifying a supplier's risk, run a self-assessment‑plus‑on‑site audit, right‑size every incoming check with ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 sampling, and track performance on a weighted scorecard. When a failure lands, raise an 8D SCAR and authorize shipping under a bounded deviation (SCDR) while the fix takes hold.
Supplier Risk Classification
Rate eight weighted factors (criticality, quality history, capability, sourcing and more) into a single risk score and tier, then read the recommended inspection, audit and scorecard cadence for that level.
Supplier Audit Procedure
A 10‑element quality-system audit. The supplier scores a self-assessment first; you verify it on-site and the tool lines both up side by side with every gap flagged and scored.
AQL Sampling Plan
Enter your lot size, inspection level and AQL, and the tool returns the sample size code letter, exactly how many units to inspect, and the accept / reject numbers for critical, major and minor defects. Record what you found and it calls the lot.
Supplier Scorecard
Score quality, delivery, quantity, corrective action and communication into one weighted grade, with trend arrows vs. last period. Auto-calculates from your raw numbers, in your choice of three layouts.
Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR)
Issue a disciplined 8D SCAR against a supplier failure: containment, a built‑in 5‑Whys, permanent corrective action and a closure score. Enter the supplier, issue date and a sequence number, and it formats the SCAR number for you, SCAR‑YYWW‑Supplier‑###.
Supplier Change Deviation Report (SCDR)
Authorize shipping nonconforming or off‑dimension parts for a bounded window, start and end dates with a quantity cap, while the SCAR runs. Live gauges track days and units remaining.
