SQA is responsible for maintaining standards in supply – from the idea of developing a part to producing the last spare part. The service ranges from drawing up the specifications for potential suppliers to developing and supporting existing ones in order to ensure that both SMP and its customers´ quality and reliability requirements are met. In this area SMP uses the latest quality methods that have become the benchmark in the automotive industry. SQA therefore supports the suppliers in achieving the specified quality objectives.

 

Supply Base Management

The objective of SMP’s supply base management is to optimize the value added chain. By continuous intensification of supplier relations, restructuring purchasing processes and monitoring make-or-buy decisions, the specialist knowledge of all experts is fed into the system solution. All partners in the supply base contribute their product and process knowledge at the earliest possible stage. This achieves optimum coordination and enhances understanding of customer requirements.
