Supplier Solutions. MADE IN INDIA

Companies are recognizing the critical role suppliers play in the success of their own business. If the suppliers’ parts or materials are defective, the ultimate product made by the organization and shipped to the customer will be defective. Besides that, it adds to the company’s Cost Of Poor Quality 10X.

Companies and suppliers must work as partners to provide the highest quality product made in the most effective manner. They must be transparent in their respective costing and aim for optimal joint-costing. Win-Win.

Maruti does precisely that. In the process Maruti has nurtured thousands of SMEs to perform to perfection.

What does Maruti purchase? It purchases ‘process capability’.

How does Maruti partner with suppliers? By reinventing their purchase department. Maruti trains its purchase managers to assess the process performance of suppliers, and thereafter to train the suppliers’ employees on Continual Quality Improvement. To improve process capability. The by-product is a reduction in Cost Of Poor Quality at the supplier end, that is shared by Maruti and the supplier. Recurring savings from Quality Improvement!

Is this MADE IN INDIA?
