- 0:26hello dear friends welcome to nptl
- 0:28course on Logistics and supply
- 0:30management so in the last few session we
- 0:32discussed about strategic sourcing and
- 0:35then we discussed how we can you know
- 0:38finalize different criteria so that we
- 0:40can uh pick our strategic uh Partners
- 0:43right so uh these strategic Partners can
- 0:47be down the supply chain means forward
- 0:50supply chain or can be uh the in the
- 0:53backward supply chain right so anything
- 0:55if you are you know Outsourcing so that
- 0:58means you are picking your external
- 1:00strategic Partners right so here we'll
- 1:03talk about specifically vendor rating
- 1:06which is very very important and my uh
- 1:09personal experience in that is that when
- 1:13we talk about you know sourcing from
- 1:15different suppliers so this is this
- 1:17becomes very very important to you know
- 1:20continuously monitor their performance
- 1:22against some predefined set of criteria
- 1:25right so that if there is any lack we
- 1:28can improve that with the the passage of
- 1:30time and we can provide most importantly
- 1:33the positive feedback to our suppliers
- 1:35because eliminating suppliers based on
- 1:38any criteria like your price quality
- 1:41delivery or anything Services they are
- 1:44providing is not going to work for any
- 1:47manufacturer any organization who is
- 1:49providing product and services right so
- 1:52uh such beautiful concept of vendor
- 1:55rating and topic so we'll cover uh what
- 1:58are the different criteria when we talk
- 2:00about vendor rating why this is required
- 2:03we'll talk about some steps of vendor
- 2:05rating some techniques right and uh uh
- 2:09I'll specifically quote you one uh very
- 2:12practical example how we are using
- 2:13vendor rating format in the industries
- 2:16where we are evaluating our stakeholders
- 2:19right uh who are providing different
- 2:21types of material to your organization
- 2:24right and uh we'll talk about uh one
- 2:27case study in that and then we'll uh
- 2:29conclude clude uh this session on vendor
- 2:31rating so vendor rating is a formal
- 2:35evaluation system of all the vendors or
- 2:38suppliers who are providing you uh
- 2:40different components right so talking
- 2:43about formal evalu now we this is fixed
- 2:46that now we have fixed our external
- 2:48Partners we have picked our external
- 2:50Partners now we are talking about the
- 2:52routine repititive purchasing decisions
- 2:56right so then we are talking about
- 2:58repetitive purchasing decision obviously
- 3:00for particular component we have we
- 3:03might have fixed maybe four five six
- 3:05suppliers depending upon the you know so
- 3:07many different parameters right whether
- 3:09you want uh few suppliers you want many
- 3:12suppliers you you want to stick with
- 3:14only one supplier so that depends upon
- 3:16the situation depend upon the industry
- 3:18scenario your product uh what you are
- 3:21dealing with or Services right so
- 3:23basically when we are talking about
- 3:25evaluating vendor rating so major point
- 3:28that come uh uh in our mind is related
- 3:32to obviously the price is very very
- 3:34important then quality whatever material
- 3:36they are supplying and then delivery
- 3:38schedule right and services means any
- 3:41queries relate uh related to the
- 3:44material they are providing or any
- 3:46complaints are coming how they are
- 3:48handling or any kind of services how
- 3:50promptly they are responding to the
- 3:53queries of the manufacturing unit right
- 3:56so these are few uh uh important set of
- 4:00criteria which you continuously evolve
- 4:02but these are not only the set of
- 4:04criteria right let's talk about you you
- 4:06sometimes you may consider the
- 4:08industrial relation of the vendor
- 4:09sometime you may you may consider the
- 4:11financial position of the vendor you may
- 4:14consider how uh uh they are innovating
- 4:17or renovating their products designing
- 4:20different features right whatever
- 4:22components they are supplying to you
- 4:24right so these These are broad scenario
- 4:27right you depending upon whatever your
- 4:29requirement you can keep evaluating your
- 4:31vendor right so the basic purpose is to
- 4:35assign a rating rating or score to each
- 4:38vendor now when we'll evaluate 1 2 3 4
- 4:41five vendors so that means we are
- 4:43prioritizing based on whatever
- 4:45predetermined set of criteria is there
- 4:47right so this will help you to make the
- 4:50informed decisions when you will go for
- 4:53allocating the orders to different
- 4:55vendors so that let's say why vendor
- 4:58rating we are doing the B basic purpose
- 5:00is so that when we will you know go for
- 5:04allocating the orders to all those
- 5:06vendors the maximum order should go to
- 5:08that vendor which is more strategic
- 5:11giving us more strategic options that
- 5:13means who is having the highest rating
- 5:16right so we should we should uh allocate
- 5:19the maximum order to that vendor okay so
- 5:22obviously when you are monitoring and
- 5:24assessing the vendor performance the one
- 5:27point is feedback to the supplier which
- 5:29will help them to continuously
- 5:31continuously improve or Benchmark their
- 5:34practices with the best available
- 5:36practices in the industry right so this
- 5:39will also minimize the subjectivity in
- 5:41judgment subjectivity means then you you
- 5:45in that way will take more informed
- 5:47decision that to whom you should pick as
- 5:50the first priority maybe on quality
- 5:52maybe on price maybe whatever or if you
- 5:55are going with some let's say uh from
- 5:58Model A now now you are uh offering
- 6:01model B in the market with some other
- 6:03features right so which are those
- 6:06vendors from all those five vendors you
- 6:08will pick three vendors which are those
- 6:10vendors which will provide you material
- 6:13for your model B right so obviously you
- 6:17will pick those vendors you are
- 6:18performing uh fair enough on that uh on
- 6:22those parameters right so typically we
- 6:24are calculating different formula
- 6:26techniques mathematically techniques we
- 6:28have to find out the weighted score
- 6:31against each vendor and then we'll say
- 6:33that this is how we can prioritize that
- 6:36right so uh this this is important
- 6:39because it will ensure you the effective
- 6:41purchasing and procurement right uh and
- 6:45when you are dealing with those kind of
- 6:47Industries uh like where you are you
- 6:49know heavily purchasing items in terms
- 6:51of volume number quantity in terms of
- 6:54the value of the product maybe quantity
- 6:56is not that high but the price is very
- 6:59very high or maybe you are talking about
- 7:01those sensitive products on which uh or
- 7:04components raw material on which the
- 7:06complete functionality or safety related
- 7:09parameters are associated of your
- 7:11product right so in that way you need to
- 7:13evaluate the vendor usually we are uh
- 7:17evaluating uh your uh vendors on price
- 7:21quality what are the price they are
- 7:22offering what are the quality they are
- 7:24offering Services level and delivery but
- 7:27we'll discuss about different scenario
- 7:29uh uh how and where these different set
- 7:32of criteria are important so I just give
- 7:36you one very you know uh uh basic
- 7:39example let's say uh we are
- 7:41manufacturing any any home appliances or
- 7:44automobile industry we are using this
- 7:46component of screw right so this screw
- 7:48we are using and coming from our let's
- 7:52say uh let's say four different vendors
- 7:57now obviously this is very small
- 7:59component if you are talking about any
- 8:01industry your are home appliances the
- 8:03value maybe if you are using 10 screw
- 8:05maybe more than that also in one product
- 8:08so value may not be more than 10 Rupees
- 8:1015 rupees or somewhere like that okay
- 8:12that depends upon the know uh the uh
- 8:16again the specification of the screw so
- 8:19whenever you are receiving the lot
- 8:22obviously what is the first step the raw
- 8:24material is coming and we have discussed
- 8:27that firstly it is going to within that
- 8:29manufacturing organization it is going
- 8:31to iqc please you need to keep this
- 8:34basic structure in your mind so that
- 8:36through this session whatever I will
- 8:39refer you can just relate with how it is
- 8:41happening in the real world so iqc what
- 8:43iqc will do iqc based on certain
- 8:46sampling maybe 10,000 lot you received
- 8:50maybe they will pick 250 units right and
- 8:53then they will check those units whether
- 8:56that lot is okay or not okay now how you
- 9:00will Define that lot is okay or not okay
- 9:02obviously you might have defined some
- 9:04Dimension that length of the screw
- 9:06should be this
- 9:08much plus minus tolerance you will say
- 9:11right then Dia of this should be this
- 9:14much again another dimension Dia of the
- 9:17thread should be this much right another
- 9:19dimension so this Dimension one
- 9:21dimension two Dimension three right
- 9:24these are some of the few Dimensions
- 9:26which are very very important when we
- 9:28will talk about a very small component
- 9:30screw right now you check 250 material
- 9:34and this is not only this is the
- 9:36quantitative method you checked right
- 9:38you recorded various quantitative
- 9:40parameters Dimension 1 2 3 4 5 then some
- 9:44qualitative measures will be there let's
- 9:46say qualitative measures uh if extra
- 9:49material is there on that thread that
- 9:52means that you can check because this
- 9:54maybe within this this Dimension is
- 9:57within limit but still because extra
- 10:00extra kind of uh material is there maybe
- 10:04during L operation so that because of be
- 10:07and tier of the tool or because of Any
- 10:09technical reason right so some extra
- 10:11material is coming that means this will
- 10:13destroy the hole where you are going to
- 10:15put this screw right so aesthetically
- 10:19you will check that extra material is
- 10:20coming on that if shape of that screw is
- 10:23somewhere may be deviated so qualitative
- 10:25you are checking uh some parameter
- 10:28visual parameters we can say right let's
- 10:31say some visual parameter you can check
- 10:33for color for kind of this defect then
- 10:37you can check for maybe flavor depending
- 10:41if that is important for that industry
- 10:43these are some of the qualitative
- 10:45parameters right shape also you can
- 10:48observe you know uh visually you can
- 10:51observe so whenever we are making the
- 10:54vendor rating we have one parameter
- 10:56quantitative parameters we are
- 10:58evaluating and then qualitative
- 10:59parameter now depending upon this
- 11:02sampling you checked both the
- 11:04qualitative as well as quantitative
- 11:05parameters whatever you have set for
- 11:07that particular component and see this
- 11:10these if in one industry I'm talking
- 11:12about this vendor rating format will be
- 11:15different for all the uh suppliers but
- 11:20if four suppliers are supplying the same
- 11:22component then vendor rating format for
- 11:25all those four suppliers will be same if
- 11:28it this lot is okay let's say if lot is
- 11:32okay so what will happen you will go you
- 11:34will store this in the store Department
- 11:37from where it will go to the production
- 11:40floor and production
- 11:42floor again the production will happen
- 11:44and finished good will be delivered this
- 11:46is how it will happen right not okay if
- 11:49loot is not okay what will happen it
- 11:51will be supplied back to
- 11:54the vendor right so that means these two
- 11:58decision but third decision is also
- 12:00there if it is not okay and maybe you
- 12:04are in urgency of that material you
- 12:07cannot simply reject and send back to
- 12:09the vendor so what you will pick the
- 12:11option at that time maybe you will
- 12:13segregate at your own end right and
- 12:17whatever okay is there you will move
- 12:20maybe to the store and whatever is
- 12:23rejected maybe you will move back to the
- 12:26uh sorry not iy to the raw material
- 12:29supplier right so that means third
- 12:32option is segregation now you see where
- 12:34this vendor is connected first this
- 12:37vendor is going to get all the
- 12:40information feedback from iqc right so
- 12:43any lot is rejected at IC end means will
- 12:46be whole lot is rejected based on
- 12:49sampling will be sent back to the raw
- 12:50material supplier again they will
- 12:52process it then again cost will be there
- 12:55but if it is uh in between that some
- 12:58rejection is there but you can segregate
- 13:00and still run uh the production line
- 13:03because if you'll return back the lot
- 13:05maybe your whole production line will
- 13:07stop so what you will think you you will
- 13:09take the decision let us segregate so
- 13:11segregation cost maybe 5 to 10 people
- 13:14are working for segregation that debit
- 13:17note you will raise through your
- 13:19accounts Department to that vendor
- 13:22because it is the responsibility of the
- 13:24raw material supplier because they are
- 13:26supposed to supply the okay raw material
- 13:30right so that cost of segregation will
- 13:32be there by your vendor production line
- 13:37then you start producing the you
- 13:39accepted the lot and you start producing
- 13:41the product but somewhere you see after
- 13:44using all every every time you are using
- 13:48500 screws somewhere around 10 to 15
- 13:51screws you are getting sometimes this
- 13:53cap is not there sometime threads are
- 13:55not there and you could not catch that
- 13:57in your sampling sometimes uh this shape
- 14:00is maybe uh uh deviated right so during
- 14:05that you are now producing the process
- 14:08this uh Zero Hour rejection that means
- 14:11you did not process that material and it
- 14:14is before putting that skew you just
- 14:17your that person who was working on that
- 14:20stage he just found that this screw is
- 14:23not okay right so based on that this is
- 14:27rejected so this is zero hour rejection
- 14:29whatever in the end you will use that
- 14:31lot let's say if 500 pieces are rejected
- 14:34these are will be sent back to the raw
- 14:37material supplier and against that lot
- 14:40will be that debit note will be raised
- 14:42against that raw material supplier so
- 14:45this complete picture you keep in mind
- 14:47so that we can just quickly refer about
- 14:50that right so Factor considered in
- 14:53Bender rating quality is first now
- 14:56quality is you need to meet all the
- 14:59specification like specification now you
- 15:01just keep that example in mind your
- 15:03screw diameter thread diameter cap
- 15:06diameter screw length these are the
- 15:08specif then then some visual inspection
- 15:11you are doing right so that you need to
- 15:14stick to those Dimensions that means you
- 15:16are meeting the quality so that rework
- 15:19or repair the segregation we did right
- 15:22that is under rework or repair right so
- 15:25that should not happen price the
- 15:27competitive pricing what if you are
- 15:30buying from four different vendors all
- 15:32are providing different rates right now
- 15:34you will keep the lowest price vendor
- 15:37also and highest price vendor also
- 15:39because we cannot eliminate the vendors
- 15:42we need to develop the vendors where
- 15:44they can be more efficient quality can
- 15:46be improved right so that this is one
- 15:49system if the our vendors will improve
- 15:52our total productivity will
- 15:54automatically improve right so factors
- 15:57like we'll observe price stability
- 15:59accurac means whether the prices are
- 16:02fluctuating from that particular vendor
- 16:04or they are providing the stable pricing
- 16:06strategy accuracy in Billing or if they
- 16:09are changing the price any prior notice
- 16:11they are giving us so these kind of
- 16:13things you are you know just recording
- 16:15with that particular vendor delivery now
- 16:18we have four vendors out of those four
- 16:20one is always struggling with the
- 16:22delivery one person is dedicated calling
- 16:25him again and again where is the lot and
- 16:27then we are waiting and that deviation
- 16:30if he is saying within 5 days it will be
- 16:32delivered always it is plus minus 3 days
- 16:34right so that means H variability is
- 16:37there in that way so that will you know
- 16:40Force you if that variability is there
- 16:42lead time is high will force you to keep
- 16:44extra inventory at your manufacturing
- 16:47unit so that is extra cost right so this
- 16:51delivery issues are also very important
- 16:53Services then how I talked about that uh
- 16:57uh the services what kind of Serv if we
- 16:59are raising as manufacturer you are
- 17:01raising some complaints how quickly and
- 17:04effectively they are resolving that
- 17:06complaints right and then sending you
- 17:08back that we have did we have done this
- 17:10uh uh correction and then we are again
- 17:13supplying you the material this is kind
- 17:15of services right so uh we'll see under
- 17:19each point what can be included I'll uh
- 17:23show you one vendor rating format there
- 17:25we'll see reliability now vendor is like
- 17:28I talk about one vendor may be uh
- 17:31struggling with the uh uh delivery right
- 17:34but he is very good with the quality so
- 17:37then you cannot eliminate that maybe one
- 17:40vendor is struggling with maintaining
- 17:42that quality but you see that vendor may
- 17:44be very very efficient he is producing
- 17:46for so many other uh industry players so
- 17:50that's why maybe because of frequently
- 17:52transition and change over is happening
- 17:55so quality somewhere is compromised but
- 17:57the he's giving giving you 5 to 10%
- 18:00lesser price than other vendors even
- 18:03then you cannot eliminate that obviously
- 18:05you will try to you know improve his
- 18:08quality as well but yes you cannot so
- 18:11few vendors are striking on some few
- 18:13parameters and the others are striking
- 18:16on some other parameter that's why this
- 18:18complete basket is required where you
- 18:20are not relying only on one Bender
- 18:22Innovation how vendor your vendor is
- 18:25ready for you know uh uh based on your
- 18:29whatever feedback you are providing how
- 18:32proly he is or proactively he is able to
- 18:35accept that feedback and ready to make
- 18:38those technical improvements right where
- 18:41maybe if you will change the outdated
- 18:44technology then maybe the productivity
- 18:46will improve productivity will improve
- 18:47the price will get down the quality will
- 18:50improve right so how quickly your vendor
- 18:52is ready to uh innovate and provide you
- 18:55the unique and differentiated product
- 18:58right so
- 19:00relationship relationship means the
- 19:03effective communication transparency
- 19:05collaboration you are maintaining with
- 19:07your vendors right so that will only
- 19:10happen when you are saying clearly
- 19:12providing your vendors the feedback and
- 19:15giving them the Improvement measures
- 19:17where they can improve I during my
- 19:20industry experience I have experienced
- 19:22this thing that you know whenever any
- 19:25manufacturer is you know coming up with
- 19:27new product or service Services many
- 19:29times this happens that you know when
- 19:32you start purchasing the raw material to
- 19:34you know make the finished good so then
- 19:38the very important feedback comes from
- 19:41the vendor side if we will replace maybe
- 19:43the design of that component maybe the
- 19:46material of that component grading of
- 19:48that component so then the overall
- 19:50quality performance durability will
- 19:53increase of that particular product
- 19:55whatever you are manufacturing so that
- 19:57will only happen when you are
- 19:58maintaining the transparent relationship
- 20:01communication is there so need for
- 20:04vendor rating obviously we need to
- 20:06evaluate the performance so that we can
- 20:09make the informed decision based on
- 20:11delivery price quality and services and
- 20:14then we can place the order it is not in
- 20:16the hand of only purchase Department
- 20:18that purchase department is raising the
- 20:20PO and maybe somewhere they are
- 20:22compromising with the quality or
- 20:23whatever subjectivity is there they want
- 20:25to favor some vendor that should not
- 20:28happen so it should be very very
- 20:30objective right quantitatively you are
- 20:32recording all the parameters and then
- 20:34you are saying that this vendor should
- 20:36go the 70% order the rest of the vendor
- 20:39should go 30% order right so this will
- 20:42also evaluation will also help you to
- 20:44identify their strengths and weaknesses
- 20:46right because over the time if you are
- 20:49coming with one model it will not last
- 20:52for more than four five or 10 years
- 20:54depending upon whatever product is right
- 20:56the nature of the industry because in
- 20:58that that way we have seen in some
- 21:00sessions we discussed the technological
- 21:03advancement is making the product life
- 21:05very shorter so then product life is
- 21:07shorter that
- 21:09means so continuously and repetitively
- 21:12you are changing the product design how
- 21:14you will change the product design with
- 21:16the collaboration of the suppliers only
- 21:19so supplyer development is the
- 21:20responsibility of the manufacturing unit
- 21:23who is buying product raw material from
- 21:25the supplier it's not only simply you
- 21:27reject or accept the lot so you need to
- 21:31uh train them you need to share the best
- 21:34practices let's say uh as a
- 21:36manufacturing unit you are big unit so
- 21:39you may be implementing some B uh for uh
- 21:43Inventory management you are
- 21:44implementing Inventory management
- 21:45software right or warehousing management
- 21:48software WMS you are using right or you
- 21:51are implementing Erp system how you can
- 21:54implement the same technology at your
- 21:56supplier end so that that efficiency
- 21:59which you are achieving by implementing
- 22:00that software that particular vendor can
- 22:03achieve so if he is efficient obviously
- 22:06then you can negotiate the price right
- 22:08risk mitigation this will only happen
- 22:11when you know that this vendor is always
- 22:13struggling with the let's say with the
- 22:15delivery so plus minus 3 days he is
- 22:18taking so I need to mitigate this risk
- 22:21so I need to maintain that Safety stock
- 22:24as per that how I can take the proactive
- 22:27measures even vendor is struggling with
- 22:30maintaining the quality how I can you
- 22:32know find the alternatives to meet that
- 22:35right cost optimization like if you are
- 22:38implementing Inventory management system
- 22:40at your vendor end right so that overall
- 22:43cost can be of maintaining that
- 22:45inventory can be minimized so that means
- 22:48that cost will lead to the increase in
- 22:51the margin of the overall supply chain
- 22:54right overall supply chain is complete
- 22:56one concept we have discussed of system
- 22:58system concept right and reducing rework
- 23:02that segregation should not happen right
- 23:05performance Benchmark now because uh we
- 23:09are evaluating with respect to some
- 23:11criteria and those criteria we are
- 23:13always updating those criteria so in
- 23:16that way we can Benchmark those criteria
- 23:19and uh we can just tell our uh vendors
- 23:23that where they are lagging right and we
- 23:26can uh uh we can help them to you know
- 23:29Define the path for the continuous
- 23:31Improvement supplier relationship
- 23:33management by evaluating the vendors and
- 23:36providing continuous feedback
- 23:38transparent communication and then they
- 23:41are they know that where they are
- 23:42standing right so that will help if you
- 23:45are transparent with your vendors you
- 23:47know that this this we we are deciding
- 23:50this very objectively so there your
- 23:52vendor also know that this is
- 23:54objectively done right let's say Ola Ola
- 23:57is now what what is Ola is doing they
- 23:59are the you know very big player while
- 24:02providing the taxi services but whether
- 24:05they own any taxi no they are not owning
- 24:07so their main stakeholders are the local
- 24:10taxi uh Union or owners or drivers who
- 24:14are you know operating or providing the
- 24:16taxi services right so now this is very
- 24:20transparent with the driver how you will
- 24:23behave with the you know whosoever is
- 24:25taking your services your customers how
- 24:28uh you are making them comfortable you
- 24:31are maintaining the cleaniness in the
- 24:32vehicle how you are taking the optimized
- 24:34route how you are following the
- 24:36predefined route whatever is shown in
- 24:38there how you are charging giving
- 24:40different options you can pay through
- 24:42credit card by scan by mobile so if you
- 24:45are accepting if you are forcing your
- 24:47sometime this happens if you are forcing
- 24:49your customer that you pay only by cash
- 24:51right sometimes they do not turn on the
- 24:54AC so these kind of things so then you
- 24:57are rating the each driver you are each
- 24:59ride you are rating so now drivers know
- 25:03that if they are getting less uh
- 25:06feedback so next time whenever there
- 25:09will be ride option or maybe any
- 25:12customer is placing the order the nearby
- 25:15best car driver will take that order
- 25:19right because that is their system is
- 25:21working on that distance minimum if so
- 25:23many taxi drivers are there who will get
- 25:26the order who is having the maximum fi
- 25:28that's that's why after completing the
- 25:29right they are usually asking customers
- 25:32to give them the best rating right so
- 25:34what are the vendor rating steps you
- 25:36need to define the evaluation criteria
- 25:38very clearly right and I told you this
- 25:41may vary with the industry somewhere in
- 25:43Industry maybe price is very important
- 25:46where you are talking about the
- 25:47repetitive items routine items right
- 25:50where you need to be efficient your home
- 25:52appliances industry sometimes you are
- 25:55talking about quality is very important
- 25:57when you talk about High status product
- 25:59right when you talk about Rolex when you
- 26:01talk about uh BMW sometimes you talk
- 26:04about the safety parameters are very
- 26:06important then you don't want to
- 26:08compromise with safy quality uh right
- 26:11price can be increased right so then if
- 26:13you are uh supplying components uh let's
- 26:16say to airline industry right who is
- 26:19building the ship so then there there
- 26:22the uh importance of the same screw
- 26:24screw you are using in your uh desk
- 26:28screw you are using in your chair screw
- 26:30you are using in car screw you are using
- 26:33in Aeroplane you just see how it is
- 26:37important when you are using the same
- 26:39screw In the Aeroplane right so their
- 26:41safety import uh parameters are very
- 26:43important once you have picked the
- 26:45criteria you need to evaluate all the
- 26:47criteria right let's say if you are
- 26:50you're buying
- 26:52shirt what can be the different criteria
- 26:54to buy a shirt right there can be cost
- 26:58then
- 26:59quality then brand maybe you are very
- 27:02particular about the brand then
- 27:06comfortness then maybe
- 27:09availability right these can so many
- 27:12other things can be there now for me
- 27:16maybe uh one person is very very uh
- 27:19particular about the comfortness so I'll
- 27:21give the maximum weightage to let's say
- 27:2330% to comfortness then may next uh
- 27:28Criterion maybe I will give 20% to
- 27:31Quality next maybe I'll give maybe 15%
- 27:34to cost next maybe I'll give 10% I'm
- 27:38very brand Consciousness right likewise
- 27:41I'll rate all because all criteria are
- 27:43not equally important but the other
- 27:46person may be cost is very important
- 27:48will give the 70% weightage then I'll go
- 27:51with maybe rest 30% then I'll see the
- 27:54quality maybe 10% I'll see the brand 5%
- 27:59likewise I the other person right that
- 28:01depends upon the person to person how
- 28:04they are doing that so this assigning of
- 28:07the way to criteria will happen uh will
- 28:09be done using that once criteria are set
- 28:12now you will gather data and where from
- 28:15where you will gather the data you are
- 28:17continuously perform uh recording the
- 28:19performance of the uh vendors uh through
- 28:23your iqc from where you are checking the
- 28:25lot through your production floor we are
- 28:27zero hour res is coming through your
- 28:29accounting purchase Department how
- 28:31quickly they are accepting the order how
- 28:33quickly they are processing the order
- 28:34and when you are making the payments and
- 28:36how they are settling the issues so then
- 28:39you will record data on all those
- 28:41parameters once it is done you will
- 28:43evaluate the Performance Based on
- 28:46whatever score maybe 1 to 10 1 to 10
- 28:48score you calculated but for all maybe
- 28:51you will not Calculate 1 to 10 if cost
- 28:54is important so you'll wait little
- 28:56higher then maybe L is the quality so
- 29:00then quality you will rate 1 to8 scale
- 29:02some other maybe brand you will rate
- 29:05maybe 1 to 5 scale depending upon
- 29:07whatever weight you want to offer
- 29:09otherwise out of 10 you can give the
- 29:11score and then each score you can
- 29:13multiply with their weightage if cost is
- 29:1610 uh maybe 20% so whatever score you
- 29:20are getting for cost you multiply by 020
- 29:23right and if you are giving quality
- 29:25maybe 15% you multiply quality score
- 29:28Maybe by .15 this is how you will find
- 29:32out the performance and overall rating
- 29:34you will sum up all the score for all
- 29:37vendors V1 what is the vendor rating V2
- 29:40what is the vendor rating V3 like this
- 29:42we'll find out then we'll review and
- 29:44validate because for every lot you are
- 29:47receiving from that vendor you are
- 29:48making those valuations so keep on
- 29:51checking evaluating right so we give you
- 29:54continuous feedback and then this result
- 29:56will be given back to the vendor so that
- 29:59this should be very transparent so that
- 30:01they can make the improvements right so
- 30:04Ola should share their feedback with the
- 30:05drivers as well so that driver should
- 30:07know that this time he made this mistake
- 30:10did not turn on the AC properly so that
- 30:12that's why he got little lesser ranking
- 30:15right then use ratings for decision
- 30:18making next time
- 30:20Olaf fed that in their system so based
- 30:23on ranking based on how near that taxi
- 30:26driver is the will allot the rides to
- 30:30different taxi drivers so what are
- 30:32different techniques we'll quickly go
- 30:33through these methods how we can
- 30:35calculate the vendor rating categorical
- 30:38plan is first subjective method where
- 30:40you can you say quality is one delivery
- 30:43is another one price is another one
- 30:45let's say three parameters are there
- 30:47quality maybe sub parameters are there
- 30:49delivery sub parameters are there price
- 30:52also sub parameters are there so either
- 30:54good or satisfactory or poor you will
- 30:56rate on each subdimension each sub
- 30:59parameter right this is categorical plan
- 31:02but this is uh subjective method right
- 31:06because if I am evaluating on quality
- 31:09what is good for me may be very good for
- 31:11other person or may be satisfactory for
- 31:13other person because my evaluation uh uh
- 31:18in whatever mind state I'm having at
- 31:20that time or maybe usually my evaluation
- 31:23is maybe uh sometimes we usually say we
- 31:27usually get this feedback as teacher
- 31:30that marking is very strict the other
- 31:32person says that may marking is very
- 31:34lenient right same person evaluating the
- 31:36same question paper weighted plan
- 31:39already I talked you let's say
- 31:41quality one uh person got out of 10 we
- 31:45are uh evaluating vendor one right so
- 31:48vendor one got eight on quality delivery
- 31:51sevens price five right so now I'll
- 31:55provide the weightage quality is let's
- 31:57say 4 % important this uh delivery is
- 32:01let's say uh 35% important and then rest
- 32:05is25 I think so that is important so
- 32:08whatever score I will get out of this by
- 32:10multiplying this I'll sum up this score
- 32:12this is the vendor uh weighted Point uh
- 32:15rating for vendor 1 same way I'll
- 32:18calculate the weighted Point rating for
- 32:20vendor 2 34 right cost ratio Plan cost
- 32:25ratio plan is calculated whatever is the
- 32:27cost occurred to acquire those Services
- 32:31right so if I'm talking about let's say
- 32:33the example is the delivery cost is
- 32:355,000 rupees and the total cost of
- 32:38acquiring that lot is 1 lakh rupees so
- 32:42delivery cost ratio will be how much
- 32:44delivery cost is adding to the total
- 32:46cost so this is 5,000 divided by 1 lakh
- 32:50will be 10% that means whatever order we
- 32:53are placing delivery cost is adding 10%
- 32:56into that so we can see whether we where
- 32:59is The Benchmark if other Industries are
- 33:01managing somewhere around 7% delivery
- 33:04cost that means we need to make sure
- 33:06make efficient our delivery Logistics
- 33:09distribution Network the inventory cost
- 33:11is let's say 20% so other Industries are
- 33:14maintaining somewhere around 12 to 133%
- 33:16why our inventory cost because we are
- 33:18keeping extra stock so that cost to
- 33:20ratio M you can maintain Force decision
- 33:23Matrix this is a kind of pair wise
- 33:25comparison Matrix we are doing where we
- 33:28are evaluating the set of criteria with
- 33:30respect to each other criteria one
- 33:33quality is important than delivery so if
- 33:36it is so we'll assign weight one
- 33:38otherwise we'll assign weight zero this
- 33:40is just how you can assign weights right
- 33:42service cost ratio particular Services
- 33:46you are providing like intangible
- 33:47services so then you can you know
- 33:50providing those extra Services see if we
- 33:53are saying that any uh you know problem
- 33:57with using this product or Services you
- 33:59can call our customer care center that
- 34:02means setting up customer care services
- 34:04is cost to me right so that is cost this
- 34:08is how you can understand so IVM quality
- 34:10rating system so they are calculating
- 34:12the quality cost means desired cost of
- 34:16inspection and actual cost because
- 34:19always actual cost of inspection is uh
- 34:21inspection is higher right so how we can
- 34:24reduce the cost of inspection I talked
- 34:28about in quality uh Insurance when we
- 34:31talked about quality tools how quality
- 34:34is free so the purpose of quality
- 34:37department is not to inspect qu the
- 34:40purpose is to seize the whole inspection
- 34:43no inspection should be there because we
- 34:46want that it should be error free so how
- 34:48we can error free when there is no
- 34:50inspection is required right when you
- 34:52are error fee well quality rating system
- 34:55this is how many Lots you are receiving
- 34:58uh and then how many are rejected right
- 35:01so based on that ratio you are defining
- 35:03that lot Quality Index what is lot
- 35:06Quality Index so how you are
- 35:07prioritizing different scenario let's
- 35:10say L1 is lot one you
- 35:13accepted as it is no rejection is there
- 35:17then L2 number of lots rejected by
- 35:20sampling but still you labeled means you
- 35:22segregated you run that lot in the
- 35:24production line right number of lot
- 35:27rejected and dispositioned rored at the
- 35:30supplier end segregated at the supplier
- 35:32end then Lots rejected and returned back
- 35:36so that means that means if you are
- 35:39returning back those component that is
- 35:41cost Transportation cost right once you
- 35:44received again you send back that
- 35:45Transportation Cost Storage cost
- 35:48inspection cost again they will
- 35:49transform it and then will maintain it
- 35:52and then you are getting the repaired
- 35:55product when I'm paying for new prodct
- 35:57product why I should use the repaired
- 35:59one so as this will grow you you can see
- 36:04here the cost priority is attached
- 36:07higher when you are you know sending
- 36:09back the material that means the
- 36:10performance will be reduced so this is
- 36:13what I'll share with you one quality
- 36:16format uh which in Industry we are using
- 36:20you can just go through okay so here is
- 36:23one vendor rating format which I used to
- 36:26use when I was uh
- 36:28uh working as you know quality engineer
- 36:31so in one of the organization so you can
- 36:33see so this is uh the vendor rating
- 36:36right uh by co-maker whosoever co-maker
- 36:38means manufacturer vendor rating for
- 36:40particular vendor number is defined and
- 36:42then date of issue vendor cender name
- 36:45you can mention here the part name or
- 36:48code part code right because different
- 36:51component small small components are
- 36:52there if you are using 10 different
- 36:54types of screw so that code will be
- 36:57different for all right so all that
- 36:58information will come and then you can
- 37:00see the first one is quality so quality
- 37:03means all the parameters related to
- 37:06Quality see now quality description
- 37:09sheet this is the sheet I was talking
- 37:12about how you are developing the quality
- 37:13description sheet you have defined the
- 37:16screw diameter thread diameter then the
- 37:20length of the screw that is quality
- 37:22description sheet and then bizi you are
- 37:24inspecting color you are inspecting
- 37:26flavor you are inspecting whatever
- 37:28Dimension you are recording that comes
- 37:30under your quality description sheet now
- 37:32based on that either you will accept the
- 37:34lot or reject let's say uh because this
- 37:37is done for 25 Lots if all 25 lots are
- 37:41accepted that means 0% rejected that
- 37:44means that vendor will get five out of
- 37:47five if two loads are rejected vendor
- 37:50will get one score right so this is one
- 37:53parameter then quality complaint note so
- 37:56how many quality comp complaint notes
- 37:58you raised against that vendor let's say
- 38:01no quality complaint note to the vendor
- 38:04that means five rating no complaint
- 38:06against that vendor so accordingly one
- 38:08complaint two complaint you will assign
- 38:10the rating then once you raise the
- 38:13quality complaint how quickly you are
- 38:16getting the Kaa corrective action and
- 38:18preventive action and they have done the
- 38:20corrective measures and sent you the
- 38:22report let's say if one uh your supplier
- 38:26is you you know kaapa report he has
- 38:29submitted and no reputation in next 10
- 38:33lots that means he'll get the 10 out of
- 38:3610 right because he quickly uh worked on
- 38:40that and improved that right so then you
- 38:43can see this is not fixed it should be
- 38:4510 only for some product you may take 20
- 38:48for some product you may take five right
- 38:50so this is just one example detailed
- 38:53inspection report if your vendor is
- 38:56sending sharing with you all the time
- 38:58detailed inspection report means
- 39:00whatever lot you are inspecting that
- 39:02means you will give five if he is not
- 39:03sharing you can give zero in
- 39:05intermediator level also you can assign
- 39:08vendor process maturity and setup so how
- 39:13mature he is with the process iqc pqc
- 39:16oqc means all quality measures they are
- 39:19taking right they have standardized
- 39:21their production process so five means
- 39:23then if they are generating all these
- 39:26reports they will get five right then
- 39:28vendor aligned to this is uh related to
- 39:30Philips program because I was working
- 39:33with that so uh uh there is flips B
- 39:36program right under that program if you
- 39:39are fully aligned whatever measures they
- 39:41have suggested you have also implemented
- 39:44so then five points right if any means
- 39:46particular suggestion from any P right
- 39:49so rejection part on the line this is
- 39:51what I was talking about your Zero Hour
- 39:54rejection you started using the screw
- 39:56but suddenly you realiz that the d uh
- 39:59the cap is missing the thread is missing
- 40:02right so then how many times how how
- 40:04much is the rejection 100 units you are
- 40:07using what is the rejection rate less
- 40:10than 0.1% you will give five marks uh
- 40:12somewhere equal to less than 2% you will
- 40:15give three marks likewise now this is
- 40:17related to Quality now next is price
- 40:20performance so obviously ply Pro
- 40:22performance how you will record whether
- 40:24that person has increased the price
- 40:26maintained the the same price or lower
- 40:28down the price if lower down the price
- 40:31by 5% you'll give 10 because maybe you
- 40:35have increase the lot quantity if less
- 40:37than by 2% you will give the five marks
- 40:40right if the person has increased the
- 40:43price you will give the zero marks right
- 40:45so this is how you'll uh do the pricing
- 40:49okay so then delivery so related to
- 40:51delivery whether you are receiving all
- 40:53the deliveries within plusus 5%
- 40:56deviation or 7% % deviation one or two
- 40:59days here and there you will this this
- 41:02see you can see the highest priority is
- 41:05given here to the delivery right 40
- 41:08marks if you are delivering on time
- 41:10you'll get 40 marks right so delivery is
- 41:12very important responsiveness how
- 41:15quickly you are generating the report
- 41:17Capa report or how quickly you are
- 41:19responding to your you know uh whatever
- 41:22complaint your manufacturer is Raising
- 41:25and how quickly you are you know uh
- 41:28confirming the purchase order once the
- 41:30purchase order is accepted and then you
- 41:32are confirming it within 3 days so that
- 41:35means you'll get three marks right so
- 41:37here confirmation is not that important
- 41:40but you can see here the delivery is
- 41:43very important because if somewhere I
- 41:45will lack with the inventory my all five
- 41:48500 people will sit down idle on the
- 41:51production line so overall rating will
- 41:54uh calculate if it is less than 50 you
- 41:56will say poor if it is 80 50 to 80
- 42:00average anything more than 80 means good
- 42:03right so this is one format how you can
- 42:06go for the vendor rating so same way you
- 42:09can develop the vendor rating uh as per
- 42:12your uh industry requirement right so uh
- 42:17then advantages of vendor rating you can
- 42:19see minimize subjectivity in taking
- 42:22decisions obviously we discussed there
- 42:25is no power with the purchase Department
- 42:27that if they want to you know uh favor
- 42:31some vendors they cannot do that
- 42:33feedback from all area from purchase
- 42:36Department you are getting that whether
- 42:38they have raised the purchase price or
- 42:39not accounting how many days they are
- 42:42giving us to settle down the payment
- 42:44right then quality Department what are
- 42:46the quality features they are lagging
- 42:48your vendors are lagging delivery again
- 42:50store department will help us to find
- 42:52out that so all these departments are
- 42:55giving you the feedback back and that
- 42:58feedback is given back to the vendors so
- 43:00better communication will be there
- 43:02overall control to the vendors specific
- 43:05action if you are struggling with
- 43:07maintaining the inventory you will get
- 43:08that feedback right so continuously we
- 43:12will re review those standards so we can
- 43:14see that this vendor rating is so
- 43:17important if you can optimize vendor
- 43:19your because from where your supply
- 43:22chain is originating from the vendors so
- 43:25first pillar is vendor only so so if
- 43:27you'll manage that pillar uh very
- 43:30effectively efficiently there only the
- 43:32supply chain performance will start
- 43:34right we have included some qualitative
- 43:36quantitative measures so you can see
- 43:39this is not only the fixed criteria you
- 43:42depending upon your industry you can
- 43:45work on those criteria we have so many
- 43:47research papers your deciding the
- 43:50vendors picking the vendors vendor
- 43:52rating multicriteria decision making
- 43:55techniques are there we are using
- 43:56methodology like uh analytical hierarchy
- 43:59Process net analytical Network process
- 44:01tops is to you know set the Benchmark
- 44:05and demal Analysis multicriteria
- 44:07decision- making tools we are using to
- 44:09evaluate the performance of the vendors
- 44:11to find out where they are right now
