Key Findings

During its Phase II research, RT-308 discovered the following impacts of supplier quality on product quality and inspection hours:

  • More NCs are found when the supplier’s facility is located in a developing country.
  • More inspection hours are budgeted and more NCs are found at the shop when supplier evaluation ratings are low. Additional money is spent to assure quality when these suppliers are selected.
  • Subcontracting, even for portions of a commodity like shop-fabricated piping, results in budgeted more hours of inspection.
  • More budgeted inspection hours are used when the supplier is NOT evaluated prior to award.
