Former Executive Vice President; Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) Releases New On-line Supplier Performance Rating System
Kansas City, KS, October 31, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Performance Score, LLC announced today that it has released an On-line Supplier Performance Rating software system. Keith Lawrence, former Executive Vice President; Mitsubishi Motors North America, Inc. (MMNA) noted: “We took a very practical approach to this software system. Keep it Very simple for the user, reports and information has to be easy and intuitive. Digging through menus is not an acceptable practice. As Executive Vice President, one of my key areas of focus was supplier performance improvement and development. Automotive Manufacturers are notorious for the huge pressure they can bring to bear on their suppliers. We found much greater success by taking a collaborative approach. We were able to work with our suppliers, sharing quality, delivery, and design information, asking for their help and suggestions. Mitsubishi Motors North America was able historically to obtain much higher cost reductions using this approach. We told suppliers what was expected and measured the results. Suppliers want to know where they stand and how they are satisfying the customer.”
The Performance Score plans to deliver this solution to automotive tier one, tier two customers and their supplier’s world wide. The software, combined with C- level consultants who personally advise and assist in the training required to affect the internal changes needed, provides a true win – win situation for customers and suppliers alike. “We cannot expect our clients to reach their daily, weekly or monthly supply chain objectives unless they have superior tools to track actual performance. We are able to deliver the performance these companies require,” said Bill Cooper, Executive Vice President, The Performance Score, Canada. “Our clients can now measure and make better decisions with The Performance Score suite of tools and services.” “When you couple a tool of this sophistication with the direct, hands-on consulting that Keith is providing, you have a system that will typically save 10%, 20% even 30% on material costs for a company. Truly extraordinary results have been reported,” notes Cooper.
