Improving IMDS reporting

Dear All,

this is my first posting, I do not speak fluent English, so I'd like to ask for your patience, please.

So, here my statement & questions:
Since more than 4 years I work professionally on IMDS and I work closely with the OEMs' IMDS Steering Committee (who makes the IMDS rules).
I created a document together with the OEs aiming to material data reporting improvements through the whole supply chain. I figured that one of the main reasons for raising supply chain costs is the missing knowledge on IMDS (generally speaking).

Question #1: How would you define a person that is trained on IMDS? How can we measure/check this?
Question #2: What makes a supplier/company the be a good/bad supplier on IMDS?
...and how can one measure this?

Thanks a lot for your kind replys. :applause:
Here my mobile in case of...: +49-170-3030807

Thanks,
Ralf

Welcome to the Cove,
Question #1: How would you define a person that is trained on IMDS? How can we measure/check this?
Question #2: What makes a supplier/company the be a good/bad supplier on IMDS? ...and how can one measure this?
1. The lowest common denominator to show competence is the ability to successfully do basic tasks in the IMDS database: search, create, modify, send, receive. Formal training courses are nice, but not everyone can/needs to be sent. Complexity of component will affect the level of knowledge needed, but not the success criterium. Access to statistics may be difficult, but number of rejected submissions / total number of submissions by an individual might be indicative (especially over time).

2. Good companies ensure that submissions are done correctly, on time, respond to rejections or questions from the customer, provide support to their people, cascade the requirement to their suppliers, etc. Measureables here are more subjective - a submission may be approved, but it may have been late, or re-submission after rejection, etc. The failure of any of our suppliers to submit IMDS information cannot be allowed to affect our submission to a customer, which hides the impact of poor sub-supplier IMDS participation.
