Ford BSAQ (Balanced Single Agenda for Quality) System questions

We are having a problem with BSAQ issues. I would like to know if someone else "suffer" trying to follow up these issues with STA's and/or plant PVT's

It seems like PVT's upload issues in BSAQ system but they don't follow up them, and STA receives notification of these issues sometimes after due date, I mean after the 60 days, so when they catch them, they just can see the issues are overdue with the very well know Q1 consequences.
And PVT's? Uff, impossible to find.

Well, basically this post is only to know if there are more suppliers dealing with BSAQ issues like us, and how are you handling them.

Thanks for your attention.

Re: Ford BSAQ

Can you tell us what PVT and BASQ stand for so we're all on the same page?

Re: Ford BSAQ

Balanced Single Agenda for Quality. A system where Ford plants uploads issues found in their process. The problem as I wrote, is Product Vehicle Team Engineer (PVT) finds a, aissue, uploads in BSAQ and that's it. He totally leave the problem, and us as supplier cannot know that this issue has been uploaded, even the STA can't.
Maybe just us or is the full Ford system is, I don't know. Very irritanting because then after some time, STA asks for information and we don't know absolutely nothing.

You have to monitor the BSAQ system daily to look for issue, if there is no notification system. The old QR2 system send email notifications. Check out if this system does to (maybe it is send to corporate or the plant manager or the email address is out of date).

Either way, you have to comply, so monitor it.

And also remember: You are guilty unless you can proof otherwise.

Re: Ford BSAQ

BSAQ is only visible to Ford employees, not suppliers. Even the STA says he doesn't receive notification most of the times.
Currently the solution we have found is to contact our Resident engineers on plants to look for PVT's and have information of this system.

BSAQ just became active a short time ago...within last month, for suppliers anyway? And the bulletin said you have to log in daily. But I have to go back now and see what they say to do if you find anything, because so far we just show a couple from 2011...

Also, they said you could just click there and get all information, except that most people in my company do not have the correct version of Excel, or an Excel viewer that is compatible, so I have to .pdf anything that is found and the spreadsheets are not exactly set up for easy printing.
