And what on earth are quality people to 'beware of'..?

What I see is downloadable document for $29.

"Provides industry best practices for the materials management process in your facility and is intended to establish a common definition of materials practices to facilitate effective communication between trading partners. The guideline can be used internally as a continuous improvement tool, or externally as your customers require. This Excel file automatically calculates your Global MMOG/LE score and features a gap analysis tool."​

Same ol' crap that you must you Covisant but pay annual fee per user?

Have you read this?

• Chrysler: All suppliers must complete the MMOG/LE Assessment by December 31, 2010
• Ford: All suppliers are required to submit their completed MMOG/LE between May 1 and July 31 annually
• Renault: All suppliers must complete a Global MMOG/LE assessment annually
• Volvo: All suppliers must complete a Global MMOG/LE assessment annually

Just passing on information....

We have just gone through a very confusing hour or two. We were under the impression that all supporting evidence had to be submitted with the assessment for Ford. But after reading several documents, we now believe that is not true. You only need to submit the evidence for your Q1 application. Can anyone confirm or refute this new interpretation?

When I was at a Tier 1 supplier to Ford a few years back, Ford people came in our plant to audit us to the MMOG/LE. So we didn't have to "submit" evidence but we sure had to show it to them. I imagine they're backing off a little nowadays and only requiring you to submit the self-assessment; but if they disagree with your self-ratings don't be surprised if they ask for supporting evidence.
(I'm now at a Tier 2 supplier, one of our big T1 customers is asking for the self-assessment, and coming this week to our plant to review and verify)

Thanks for the reply. We submitted our MMOG/LE to Ford on July 30th and our still awaiting their evaluation.

We are now getting together a Chrysler and a Volvo version. Speaking of which, does anyone know when/how to submit to Volvo? We have asked several individuals and keep getting directed to someone else. Their standard says to submit annually, but not who/how/ etc.

I submitted my MMOG to Ford this year with supporting objective evidence. This was a change from previous years and was specifically required by the updated MMOG document. Here is an excerpt from the MMOG:
Ø Completing the EvaluationWhen carrying out an assessment, the assessor should take into account a number of factors before deciding whether the organization is compliant with a criterion. It is not sufficient to simply determine if there is a process in place that satisfies the condition. The organization should also check that the process is understood and adhered to, and the output of the process is delivering the required or expected outcome on a consistent basis. Objective evidence that the process is stable and well established in the organization is key.
AND:
Alongside each criterion within the Assessment there is a COMMENT box that should be used to record any information regarding the assessment response. For example, the assessor could record details of any objective evidence, the reason for a non-compliance, or any other information that might assist in understanding the operating conditions at the time of the assessment. It is a mandatory requirement to record in the COMMENT box the reasons why a criterion is deemed Non Applicable. The content of the COMMENT box is transferred automatically to the Gap Analysis worksheet.

I didn't include additional documents with the submission, but I did include comments/objective evidence for every requirement.

My submission was approved by our Ford STA.

Thanks. Can you tell me how long it was between when you submitted it and when they okayed it? Also, was your assessor's initials GW?

 

[JQuality]

No to the initials being GW and as i recall, it was around one month until it was approved.

Thanks again.
