Great webinar my question is. For example you have a out of spec review from a customer for a material that’s been provided third party. What are ways do you suggest in getting an expedited root cause from the supplier?
Hi Percie. Thanks for your question. When dealing with third party suppliers, getting a speedy reply can be an issue. Everyone is busy doing their own gig that your requests may not be a priority to them. All I can suggest to do is have a hierarchy of actions that can be implemented. It might start with a simple request, progressing to formal warnings, completing your own internal audit to finally sourcing an alternative supplier. It really comes down to your relationship with your supplier.
