What Does This Procedure Do?
Under the Create tab you can load lists to rate your subcontractors based on their delivery reliability or reject quantities. There are two available list types; Log and Only total. Under printout samples you will see samples of the log list.
This procedure is practically the same as the Supplier Rating procedure in the Purchase module. The difference is that here you rate based on the purchased subcontracts while you in the Supplier Rating rate based on the purchased material. This makes this procedure a supplement to the Supplier Rating in the Purchase module, for those companies that also have subcontractors.
You can also make the equivalent rating based on your own operations, including delivery reliability and rejects. For own operations you use the Delivery Reliability - Own Operations procedure in the Inventory module. This can be used to see how your own work centers manage to maintain the planned finish times and to see the number of rejects by the volume reported as finished.
Delivery Reliability
Delivery reliability is a key ratio that can be calculated in this procedure. The delivery reliability value is measured in percent of the total number of deliveries that was delivered on time. This number is hopefully as close to 100% as possible. Delivery reliability can also be called "service level", "on-time delivery", etc.
A delivery is actually the reporting of reported quantity on a subcontract operation. This is why this reporting is taken from the manufacturing order log.
The actual delivery date is the date that the reporting takes place. The current delivery date is (by default) the finish period that was entered for that operation. You can also select the initial finish period for the operation. When you calculate the difference between the actual and current delivery date, you can decide whether to calculate using the normal public holidays or using your company calendar.
You can configure tolerance limits or allowances for the maximum number of days early or days late, in order to define what is considered to be "on-time" deliveries.
Rejects
Reject statistics are another key ratio that can be calculated. The basis for reject statistics is also taken from operation reporting. A comparative figure is calculated between the manufactured quantity (Approved quantity + rejected quantity) and the reported rejected quantity. The value is measured in percent and is is hopefully as close to 0% as possible.
The Delivery Performance from Supplier procedure under the Quality menu in the Inventory module contains an equivalent method of calculating this key ratio for suppliers, but there the calculation is made on faulty/rejected parts from the nonconformity register instead of directly from the manufacturing order log.
That reporting is also described in the Rejection List, but not in comparison to the manufactured quantity, but as a calculation of the cost of the manufactured quantity of faulty parts.
What Update Options Exist for this Procedure?
There are no update options in this procedure, since the information is taken directly from arrival and receiving inspection statistics.
Can Any Charts Be Displayed?
If you select the list type Only total, you can view the list in chart form, to allow more precise comparisons between different suppliers.
AutoRuns
In this procedure you can perform an AutoRun via the AutoRuns procedure that is included in the supplementary function MONITOR Agent.
