Supply Chain Improvement
If your organization purchases nationally or even globally, but does not have the resources to effectively
qualify, monitor and develop your suppliers, then the James Group can help. We can manage your entire
Supply Chain Qualification, Monitoring and Development Program and provide scheduled management
reports to your organization.
Supply Chain Qualification
Performance evaluation – The James Group has the global
experience to evaluate supplier business maturity, engineering
capability and process controls that are required to achieve your
local and/or global purchasing objectives.
Program management – A major failure of many launches has
nothing to do with the technology. Instead it’s just poor planning
and over commitment of resources. The solution is professional
and independent project management that can hold all parties
accountable to the plan.
The James Group Operational Excellence Professionals qualify
suppliers and supports your launches by:
-Co-development and support for Program project plans
-Roll out PPAP or 1st Article Program to Customer Program Managers
-Work with Customer Engineering Groups to prioritize parts
-Schedule & manage resources/consultants
-Determine all laboratory sources and schedules
-Perform dimensional layouts with supplier
-Conduct PPAP/1st Article rollout presentations
-Sample review submitted PPAP/1st Article documents, package all PPAP/1st Article documents in
Customer format
and submit to Customer for approval
-Present PPAP/1st Article program status and process performance metrics bi-monthly to Management
-Conduct Run-at-Rate Audit
Supply Chain Monitoring
Site audits – “Go see” is key to a strong supply chain. A great many problems begin with poorly
communicated requirements. The James Group can help to drive your commitment and best practices
throughout your supply chain in a very cost effective way. Our Operational Excellence Professionals seek
out ways to improve value-added activities.
Supply Chain Development
Corrective action and follow-up – Ensuring that the issues are addressed and that the actions are
appropriate involves a great deal of follow-up. The James Group is independent of your day-to-day
dealings with the supplier and can be more aggressive and objective in pursuing the needed
improvements.
Improvement Workshops- The James Group implements immediate change through workshop based
Kaizen events.
