Description

Cooperation between the globally active automotive and supplier industries is increasingly presenting both sides with major challenges in terms of high product and process quality. This is particularly evident in the close integration of the areas of development, purchasing, production, quality, and logistics with suppliers. In SQMS, the 0-km complaints between customers and suppliers are processed.

Topics

SQMS is integrated into the complex system landscape of Mercedes-Benz. For example, part data such as part numbers, colors or ZGS numbers from the passenger car development systems are used via interface. In addition, SQMS uses part number/supplier combinations from the purchasing system (purchasing contracts). Interfaces to accounting and logistics automatically control cash and goods flows.

The participants

• ...understand the zero-defect strategy of Mercedes-Benz Cars
• ...know the procedures for triggering a 0-km complaint
• ...know how a series test report is created and what the tasks are from taking over the responsibility
• ...can create and manage an 8D report in the SQMS system independently
• ...know the individual steps of structured problem solving according to VDA8D
• ...can effectively apply the voluntary disclosure

Aim

Direct access to information is the goal for all parties involved. This is accompanied by the goal of achieving a high level of data security, quality, and transparency. In addition, the aim is to achieve an increase in the quality of purchased parts, as well as a rapid error correction process at the supplier together with the customer. In Addition, external specifications are to be secured.
