Summary:

Automotive recalls due to quality issues are ongoing and costly. With the increased consumer awareness of automotive recalls and supply chain issues, resolving issues quickly and effectively is important. This is the case at Top Auto, a manufacturing supplier in the automotive industry. Top Auto's supply chain manager is tasked with resolving supplier quality issues and ultimately improving collaboration and coordination with suppliers. Reviewing the past five years' data for supplier quality issues, the manager observed that a few problems took a significant length of time to resolve while others were resolved quickly. In this case study, students will analyze data, conduct research, and make recommendations to manage trade-offs such as how quickly issues are resolved versus the effectiveness of solutions.
