This process has been described by customer/supplier technical committee of ASQ, which developed the following eight certification criteria:

Relationship Development

Following are the points of relationship development.

Inspection

Training

Team Approach

Recognition

Inspection

The goal of inspection is to eliminate good and bad parts .There are three phases of inspection.

1. 100% inspection

2. Sampling

3. Audit

100% Inspection

In this phase 100% inspection is recommended by both customers and suppliers

Sampling

As the supplier gains confidence in its quality performance , a change to sampling is recommended , provided there is statistical control of the process using control charts and process capability.

Audit

In the 3rd phase , the supplier continues statistical control of process and initiate its own auditing . The customer now has complete confidence in the supplier and initiate identity checks.

Training

In small organizations , the senior managers perform many different functions. Frequently no one has expertise in quality or ability to train work force . Therefore the large organizations may invite the supplier to attend their courses or present the course at the supplier’s end.

Team Approach

Customer/Supplier teams are established in a number of areas , such as product design , process design , and the quality system.

Team meetings should occur at both parties plants so they obtain a greater understanding of the process.

Recognition Creating incentives for suppliers is one way to ensure that they

remain committed to a quality improvement strategy . Incentives may be in the form of a preferred supplier category with its rewards.
