Recently
ArvinMeritor conducted its sixth ArvinMeritor Performance
System for Supplier Excellence where key suppliers were
invited to attend the 1.5-day event. During the event it was emphasized that
this is not a ‘piece price reduction’ program, but the (free) tools and
structure we offer to our key suppliers will assist the supplier’s
organization to achieve the goals and commitments we already have, and will
help to position them in a better competitive advantage for the future.
Although some suppliers may have a similar program in place, or are already
meeting ArvinMeritor goals, we still need their participation and
involvement in this partnership to support other suppliers to create a
Quality 0-100 (Zero One Hundred) culture within both internal and external
supply base, and absorb more positive impact by having: ü 0 PPM ü 0
Customer complaints ü 0 Field
Actions ü 100%
schedule compliance ü 100% on
time PPAP ü 100%
Launch success Some of the commitments that we all
got during the meeting were: Ø
Each
participant has been requested to communicate this ‘partnership’
and the Supplier Excellence structure to the leaders of the supplier’s
organization; and get their commitment to participate. Ø
Identify
the tools needed based on their priorities. Ø
Identify
the right people to attend events / workshops / trainings. The options we have offered to our suppliers in order to
create a ‘Partnership Action Plan’ based on “Pull” basis are: a)
Request copy of the presentation/training material they may need
for implementation. b)
Request onsite visit by LVS. c)
Onsite support workshop by LVS. d)
Participate in workshop at LVS facilities. e)
Creation of a “Supplier Forum Workshop. f)
Support during a Specific Project. We need to remember that we all are
competing in a global market where other suppliers are interested in
supplying to ArvinMeritor; and our competitors to our customers. For more information about the
