When the Supplier�s Management is corrupted.�
Western Digital was acquiring its HDD magnetic heads from its supplier in Penang, Malaysia. We send in a team to sort out the quality problems relating to magnetic heads.� AMREP inspectors could never rectify the quality problems! We trace the problems backwards to its source. Parts for the magnetic heads were coming in from factories owned by the supplier�s employed managers. We found the reasons for the continuous incoming poor quality and unsolvable quality solutions plus the resistance for corrective actions and quality improvements.� Our work for WD ran on for 5 years from Singapore, Malaysia, India, Thailand and the Philippines

When the Supplier�s Management is a problem.
Western Digital was acquiring its HDD magnetic heads from Read Rite Malaysia. We had to send in a team to sort out the quality problems relating to magnetic heads. 5-10 AMREP inspectors could never rectify the quality problems! Until we trace the problems backwards to its source. Parts for the magnetic heads were coming in from factories owned by Read Rite�s own employed managers. Therefore the reasons for the continuous incoming poor quality and unsolvable quality solutions plus the resistance for corrective actions and resistance to quality improvements.� We were working on the Read Rite project for as long as our customer needed us to be a barrier for uncontrolled bad quality.�
Buying from an Agent and Buying Supplier problems. The customer is a Tier 2� automotive supplier of forged wheel parts and axles to Ford and Daimler Chrysler. He buys from a US agent who trade with a Chinese foundry. Our customer did not trust its agent irrespective that he had been buying from this agent for many years from suppliers within the US and where our customer had better control on quality. In China he had no control and his agent could not control the quality in China. As expected the products received were �out of specs�. AMREP sent its metallurgical specialist in China to correct the production problems. Lesson Learned? Next time send in AMREP to audit your supplier�s manufacturing capabilities before signing a contract with the agent. Or have your trading agent sell you the products but have AMREP inspect before delivery.
