Supply Chain System Design and Quality Assurance Measurements
Designing supply chain system requires an ordered process that categorizes the procedure. This quickly helps to expose similarities and differences between processes. Both supply chain and quality assurance measurement have ordered processes and can undergo stages, either single stage or multiple stages (Chase & Jacobs, 2014). The methods require collapsing all the systems and beginning to analyze through multiple stage processes connected through group activity flows. The activities are conducted consistent with the standard practices in use within a company. It is vital to understand the business metrics that support decision-making and that must be compatible with the business and management.
Both the system design and quality assurance measurement require benchmarking that set the improvements towards which a firm is progressing and identify flaws (Chase & Jacobs, 2014). Mapping helps in understanding material flow processes and creates value of the output thus determining system efficiency. The system design supports quality measurement by integrating all the processes of a company. It takes into consideration all the aspects of the enterprise. The standards have to be consistent with the system and processes in place. That enables quality measurement through the company operations.
Designing accurate system will ensure increase in efficiency and improve the competitive position. The processes have to be developed to help implement solutions designed (Chase & Jacobs, 2014). According to Chase & Jacobs (2014), comprehensive approach to quality with a focus on customers must center in operational goals fundamental to sound quality process. Total quality management process ensures consistent system design and consistency of the methods to the activities of an organization. Sigma approach sets tools and philosophies to measure and reduce defects through an ordered process using comprehensive quality measurement tools
