Supplier Selection/Qualification Podcast - Slides
Abstract: These slides, which go with the podcast of the same title, provide an overview of the supplier selection and qualification process in which quality professionals participate. Among the topics to be covered are how to determine whether the supplier can actually perform from first contact through the audit to production trials, the differences between a new domestic supplier and one in a low cost region, assessing a potential supplier when travel is not an option, and continuous improvement. Betty Rose is a Senior Supplier Engineer with Tektronix, a Danaher company in Beaverton Oregon. She has over 25 years of experience in working with suppliers in four very different industries.

It would have been helpful if some graphics were added in the presentation to demonstrate the supplier qualification strategy.
