1.0Review of Open Action Items from Previous Meeting
The open action items from the July 2005 meeting were reviewed.
2.0Supplier merit data analysis
- Chemical Processing Task Group Update
- Heat Treating Task Group Update
Ward Barcafer, Chemical Processing Task Group Chair gave an update regarding Chemical Processing supplier merit status. The Chemical Processing task group is recommending that NMC request to have merit listed as a Supplier Support Committee metric. It was noted that the task group has no control over this issue, and suppliers have financial incentive to achieve this metric. The Chemical processing task group also asked the NMC to standardize merit guidelines across all task groups. (See attached presentation for more details)
Doug Matson, Heat Treating Task Group Chair gave an update regarding the merit status of Heat Treating suppliers. The task group has determined the reason suppliers are falling off merit is due to changes in criteria. (See attached presentation for more details)
ACTION ITEM: Standardization sub-committee to look further into supplier merit requirements across all task groups
