Quality Audit (Main Criterion "Quality") 

Use

This section describes how scores are calculated by the system for the automatic subcriterion "Quality Audit".

Activities

The score is calculated as follows:

  1. A quality audit has taken place in one of your vendor's plants. This means that either your own company has carried out a check to determine how the vendor ensures that his products are of a high quality, or the vendor has carried out the audit himself.
  2. An audit lot is created by Quality Management. When the audit has been completed, the person responsible determines a score for this audit lot.
  3. All the audit lots are stored in a file with their scores.
  4. When you run an automatic re-evaluation of a vendor, the system selects all the audit lots for the vendor within the validity period.
  5. The parameter Quality audit is read from Customizing.
  6. If the indicator is set, the system calculates the average score for all the quality audits in the validity period. The result is the vendor's score for the quality audit.
    If the indicator is not set, only the most recent audit lot is included. This then represents the vendor's score for the subcriterion.

The Evaln. QM system field on the screen for the main criterion "Quality" shows you the score that was awarded to the Quality Management system (e.g. ISO 9003 with certificate) used by the vendor. It is only displayed if the Prev. QM system field is filled in the vendor master record. The score is awarded by the QM system and is for information purposes only.

Display the vendor master record to see which quality system the vendor uses.

You can use the content of the field for your own program and have this score included in the vendor’s quality score.
