Explain : Purchased Component Defect Rate

The purchasing staff should be interested in the proportion of components purchased from outside suppliers that are defective. Any defect requires expensive time to document and return and may even interfere with the timely completion of the production schedule.

Consequently, this is one of the most important measures of supplier performance. It should be measured both by supplier and by each component provided by each supplier, in case there are problems with only some portion of a supplier’s total deliveries to a company.

Also, it should be measured on a trend line, so that gradual increases can be easily spotted and dealt with.
