Abstract
The quality of outside supplied parts is an extremely important part of the total vehicle package consumers desire today. Although each supplier is ultimately responsible for the quality of its own products, a company's Purchasing group is the most influential customer activity in obtaining high quality. With the support of other customer activities, Purchasing selects the proper supplier, plans for and monitors production start-up, monitors supplier ongoing quality information and obtains corrective action as supplier quality concerns arise.
