Key Result #1
Companies who were
deemed “more effective”
in their application of
supplier quality practices
found more defects earlier
in the product cycle, thus
lowering the cost of
rework.
• Utilize model output
– Estimate the cost of
non-quality
– Make supplier
decisions based on
total delivered cost
– Determine whether
applying more
inspection is worth the
investment
