Hi Randy,
We have a Dock-to-Stock program here as part of a larger supplier management
program. The supplier management program includes supplier qualification,
certification, and dock-to stock for particular items. The program basically
works as such:
1. Suppliers are qualified through a defined evaluation process. Examples of
data include D&B reports, current customer lists, etc. Suppliers of custom
materials may be evaluated by a site visit. A supplier evaluation team is
set up to handle this, including purchasing, quality, engineering and anyone
else that is deemed necessary.
2. Suppliers are periodically evaluated for performance to certain metrics -
quality (lots accepted/lots rejected), corrective action response, on-time
delivery, responsiveness, invoice accuracy. Failure to respond to a
corrective action request drops the quality score by 10 points. Suppliers
that have met a 98% quality rating, a 95% on-time delivery, error-free
invoices, have good responsiveness and have had a minimum of 15 lots
delivered in the past 6 months are considered for certification.
3. Certified suppliers can become dock-to-stock for a particular item if
they have submitted 6 separate shipments of that item in a 6 month period
with no defects.
Dock-to-stock status can be removed due to floor rejects or loss of
certification. Loss of certification happens if the quality rating falls
below 95%, the delivery rating falls below 90%, etc.
Certified and Dock-to-Stock suppliers should be given priority for business
over non-certified suppliers even if the price is higher. This is always
difficult to get to work.
Hope this helps. Contact me off-line if you would like any more info.

Subject: [TN] DTS
Looking to formally implement a Dock to Stock Program. Been
doing/collecting supplier part history
for over 1 1/2 years and am at the point of where I am reasonably sure I can
start. Looking for anyone who may have done this or is doing it I am
interested in how you may have approached Supplier Certification with the
specific suppliers. I have ideas but looking for additional suggestions.
Plan is to go 5 lots and audit the 6 th. Tracking Production Floor
dropouts via MRB is being done now.
We do have some good part history. Some parts may never see DTS due to the
specific part itself i.e.;
PWB, some cable/harnesses, some sheet metal/turned parts, painted parts.
Knowing that Chrysler does DTS 100% with it's automotive parts, I know it
can be done.
Regards,
Randy Bock Sr.
