Abstract

The ability to monitor supplier performance is a critical capability to maintain a strong organization-supplier relationship, especially for organizations where supplier quality plays a significant role in their final product and market retention. In this article, a profile monitoring model in two phases is presented for monitoring the quality of products and supplier processes. In the first step, criteria and indicators for quality assessment are extracted according to library resources and the opinion of experts and elites of the industry. In the next phase, in the first phase of monitoring, the parameters of the model are calculated and monitored using the Kong Albain T^2 method, and in the second phase, the Hotling T^2 method is used to monitor the quality of the supplier over time, so that if there is a warning in the shortest time The control chart may show it. This model has been implemented in the automotive industry of Iran Khodro Company and the supplier of gearbox parts by Niromoharkeh Company.
