Sorting and Inspection Coordination
at Supplier Dock, In-Transit, and Customer Plants
Containment events require sorting resources moving fast. IDS coordinates same-day mobilization, boundary sample definition, sorting criteria establishment, and daily reporting across major automotive corridors.
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.
