Coordination Scope

Scoping, execution, and effectiveness verification.

Sorting quality depends on scoping quality. Under-scoped sorting produces re-escapes that trigger repeat PRRs. Over-scoped sorting wastes cost and elevates customer perception of the supplier problem. IDS coordinates scoping alongside execution to hit the balance.

Scope Definition

Specific defect mode, affected part numbers, production date ranges, shift patterns, and inspection criteria defined with plant quality contact before sorting begins.

Boundary Sample Review

Boundary sample confirmation with customer SQE ensures inspection team uses the same acceptance criteria the customer will verify.

Daily Reporting

Quantities inspected, accepted, rejected, photos of defect samples, defect descriptions, and boundary sample verifications reported daily to supplier and customer.

Multi-Point Coordination

Simultaneous coordination at supplier dock, in-transit inspection points, and customer plant receiving. Common during severe multi-point containment events.

Third-Party Inspection

Coordination with established qualified inspection providers across Spring Hill TN, Detroit MI, Louisville KY, and Ontario corridors.

Effectiveness Verification

Post-sort effectiveness verification with statistically meaningful sample sizes supports 8D D6 discipline and customer PRR or TSV or GIR closure.

FAQ

Common questions about sorting and inspection

How fast can sorting resources be mobilized?

Same-day mobilization in core coverage corridors: Spring Hill TN, Detroit MI, Louisville KY, Oshawa ON. On-site inspection resources typically begin work within the same shift as the initial call for events received before mid-shift.

Does IDS provide sorting labor directly or coordinate third-party?

IDS coordinates third-party inspection labor with established qualified providers across major automotive corridors. Focus is on scoping, boundary sample definition, sorting criteria establishment, and effectiveness verification, not direct labor provision.

How is sorting scope defined?

Working with plant quality contact, IDS defines sorting scope by specific defect mode, affected part numbers, production date ranges, and shift patterns. Under-scoped sorting produces re-escapes; over-scoped sorting wastes cost. Both extremes are avoidable with careful scoping.

What documentation does sorting produce?

Daily inspection reports with quantities inspected, accepted, and rejected, photos of defect samples, defect descriptions, and boundary sample confirmations. Documentation supports supplier 8D corrective action closure and customer PRR verification.

Can IDS coordinate sorting at supplier dock, in-transit, and customer dock simultaneously?

Yes. Multi-point containment is common during severe events. Coordination happens under one engagement with location-specific inspection teams reporting to unified supplier oversight.

Active containment event needing sorting coordination?

Same-day mobilization in Spring Hill TN, Detroit MI, Louisville KY, Oshawa ON. On-site resources typically begin work within the same shift.
