Supplier Quality Intelligence Dashboard

Executive Summary

Based on comprehensive analysis of over 6,000 supplier quality records spanning 2 years, the following patterns and recommendations have emerged:

Key Findings

Raw Materials consistently account for the highest defect rates across suppliers
Detroit, MI plant reports the highest total defect quantity
Downtime impact doesn't always correlate with defect quantity
Year-over-year defect increases observed between 2013-2014
Three suppliers (Solholdings, Plustax, Quotelane) represent nearly half of all defects

Recommended Actions

Implement targeted supplier quality program with top 3 defect producers
Review Raw Materials sourcing strategy and inspection protocols
Investigate Corrugate material handling to reduce disproportionate downtime
Develop specialized quality training for Detroit and Chicago plants
Establish early detection systems for "No Impact" defects before they become "Rejected"

This analysis supports a data-driven quality improvement strategy targeting the highest-impact areas first while building long-term supplier relationship improvements.
