Lets discuss Right quality in detail...
Quality is defined as fitness in use. The merit with which the product stands in the competition. The one of the prime task of the purchase manager is to get the supply of the required material of right quality. The purchase manager may describe the quality of the product as one of the following:
-brand name
-specifications on a blue print
-necessary sample
-market grades for a product
Good quality does not necessarily mean high quality. It means predictable degree of uniformity and dependability with quality suited to the market. The requirement of quality has to be decided by no one else than the customer. The quality criteria vary from product to product. Quality is measured differently for different materials…
Raw materials: most raw materials are bought to some professional specifications since these are required for processing of specific item. For example: if we buy steel, we need to assess the raw material so that it has the right alloys and in the right quantity.
Parts as per blue print: if a company buys parts ,its blue prints can specify the type of materials and also the exact dimensions and other characteristics that are desired.
Finished products: when a company buys finished product designed by the supplier, its primary interest is the performance of the product itself. Company measure the quality of such vendor designed items as machine tools and maintenance, repair, and operating supplies with performance specifications.
Restrictive specifications: specifications regarding the type and quality of the material should be specific to avoid any kind of misunderstandings. As far as possible it should be in writing.
Providing the right quality of the materials is rather the most important job of the buyer. If a buyer buys materials of unsatisfactory quality or the vendor fails to deliver, as per specifications it is futile even if the price is attractive. Therefore quality control sys tem is important. The vendor reduces the buyers cost of inspection by implementation of zero defects programs. For this purpose sample investigation reports method is very efficient.
When each lot is supplied the inspection report is supplied by the vendor. The buyers quality control department ratifies this report. When it is regularly found that that there is consistency in matching of the reports it becomes a good practice and is called as certified quality or quality certification. The basic objective is to reduce the cost of quality control procedures by the vendor.
When the buyer finds the material bought does not comply with the drawing of purchase order, components are sent back to the vendor. Sometimes the lot is sorted as ‘ok’ and ‘not ok’ components. The ok components are used while the not ok components are sent back.
