Your reliable remote control

• Core concept

  1. Supplier Process Control
  It is to monitor, manage, and standardize the key processes of supplier production and service, ensuring that these processes are stable, reliable, and can continuously produce products that meet the requirements. To achieve the goal of preventing defects and ensuring stable and consistent quality.

   

  2. Supplier process improvement
  It is based on process control, working with suppliers to identify waste, fluctuations, and inefficient links in the process, and taking measures to optimize them, making them more efficient, cost-effective, and of higher quality. To achieve the goal of optimizing process performance and surpassing existing levels.

   

  3. The relationship between the two:

  Process control is the foundation, it is' defense '; Process improvement is an advancement, an 'attack'. Without control, improvement is impossible to talk about; If you only control without improving, you will stagnate.

  

• Process control

  Process control mainly revolves around the six elements of "human, machine, material, method, environment, and measurement":

   

  1. Personnel:
  Control points: operator skill certification, training records, quality awareness.

   

  2. Equipment:
  Control points: equipment maintenance plan, precision calibration, parameter setting.

   

  3. Materials:
  Control points: specifications of raw materials, supplier management, storage conditions.

   

  4. Method:
  Control points: the standardization and implementation of work instructions, process parameters, and standard operating procedures.

   

  5. Environment:
  Control points: temperature and humidity, cleanliness, electrostatic protection, etc. of the production environment.

   

  6. Measurement:
  Control points: calibration of inspection equipment, uniformity of measurement methods, traceability of inspection records.

   

  Common tools:

  Statistical Process Control (SPC), Control Charts, Measurement System Analysis (MSA), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), Error Prevention Techniques, etc.

   

  

• Process improvement

  Process improvement is built on the data and stability of process control, usually through collaboration and guidance.

   

  1. Performance feedback and data analysis:
  Method: Regularly review the quality qualification rate, on-time delivery rate, cost and other data with suppliers to jointly analyze the root causes of defective products.
  Improvement point: Change from 'Your product is not qualified' to 'Our data shows that the non conformance rate in XX stage is high, let's find the reason together'.

   

  2. Joint improvement project:
  Method: Send engineers or expert teams to the supplier's site to jointly solve complex technical or process problems.
  Improvement point: Assist suppliers in optimizing mold design and improving production line layout, thereby enhancing efficiency and quality.

   

  3. Introduce advanced management systems and methodologies:
  Method: Guide and coach suppliers to introduce lean production, Six Sigma, automation transformation, etc.
  Improvement point: Systematically reduce process fluctuations and waste, lower costs and delivery cycles.

   

  4. Incentives and Collaborative Development:
  Method: Establish an "Excellent Supplier" award and give long-term orders, priority payments, and other benefits to suppliers who continuously improve.
  Improvement point: Transform a single buying and selling relationship into a strategic partnership and grow together.
