Supplier Complaint Management
Formalizes supplier issue resolution through structured 8D methodology with complete traceability.
Supplier problem communication, 8D report upload and approval
Supplier Complaint Management takes a supplier issue from registration through to closure on a structured 8D path. The complaint is registered, the 8D report is uploaded against it, root cause analysis and corrective actions are tracked, and closure is approved rather than assumed. Recurrence monitoring and cost of poor quality sit against the same record.
What this module does
The module formalizes supplier issue resolution through structured 8D methodology with complete traceability.
A complaint is registered against the supplier. Report templates give the 8D response a consistent shape, and the uploaded report is held with the complaint. The root cause analysis tool and corrective action tracker record what was found and what was done about it, and an approval and closure workflow closes the complaint. Recurrence monitoring shows where the same issue returns, and cost of poor quality is tracked against the record.
