Episode 22: In this episode of The QT9 Q-CAST, host Christian Reyes talks about how a supplier defect can cost far more than the price listed on the purchase order. In this episode of the QT9 Q-Cast Compliance Lab, Christian Reyes examines how one bad supplier lot can ripple from receiving through production, scheduling, quality, and ultimately the customer.
Learn why effective supplier management software requires more than approvals and periodic scorecards. Closed-loop traceability connects supplier risk, lot genealogy, corrective actions, and the cost of poor quality—helping regulated manufacturers identify exposure faster and make better supplier decisions.
Take your most recent supplier defect and calculate its real invoice—including inspection, rework, scrap, expedited freight, quality hours, schedule disruption, and customer impact. Then test how quickly your current system can trace that supplier lot forward to every affected work order, finished good, and customer.
