Supplier Readiness Assessment - SRA

Framework for ascertaining supplier’s capability to deliver as planned

New project: evolution performance appraisal and contingency plan Realization phase: performance breakdown

and recovery plan

SRA framework

• On-site evaluation, evidence driven, providing visibility on ability to meet targeted deliverables

• Appraisal, from an operational perspective, on level of preparation of a project to successfully evolve to next gate

• Report on situational condition of predominant determinants affecting operational effectiveness

• Project evolution and maturity level valuation yielding to proactive detection of potential risks

Operational perspective framework

Readiness: Prominent determinants

• Design readiness– On-time product release: ADR, PDR, FDR, Qualification, DFx, FAI

• Planning & Execution readiness– Plan, owners and leadership: DPS, MPS, MRP, Contract Deliverables

• Capacity readiness– Sufficient resources: human, financial, equipment, space, bottleneck

• Supply Chain readiness– Supplier selection and material pipeline to meet demand

• Infrastructure readiness– IS, tool, layout, process, training, procedure

• Performance readiness– Quality requirements, process control, SPM


SRA approach

Customer

• Project description | Milestone • Customer’s perspective :situational appraisal and supplier review• Desired state | Observed state | Issues | Perceived gap | Impact• Supplier profile | Performance review | Business review | Relationship management

Supplier

• On‐site meeting: supplier’s perspective on business relation and situational appraisal • Business review: Corporate profile | Organization | Business fundamentals• Operational plan | Plant layout | VSM | Business processes• Overall program status | Relationship management

Assessment

• SRA presentation | Process | Expected behavior and outcome | Product specific• Floor tour (walk the flow) | Cell layout | Storeroom | Quarantine | Material status • SRA execution ‐ current state critical dimensions appraisal, evidence driven: DPS, Design, Contractual deliverables, MPS, MRP, FAI status, KPI, Capacity, Quality, Finance,

• SRA report | Action item list | Closing remarks and follow up plan
