Re: Suppier will not respond to Corrective Action Requests
It is critical you understand why they would not answer the CAR. Many times, customers initiate CARs that are TOTALLY misplaced. Jim Wynne has exemplified that several times.
Sometimes, the problem is not the supplier, but the misguided customer that thinks that a CAR is always appropriate. This forum is full of examples where no meaningful corrective action can be achieved, despite a customer SCAR.
Assuming you have a valid SCAR and proper expectations, in addition to the other ideas already offered by others, you can involve the supplier CB (if they are certified). Escalating the issue to their CB might do the trick. That is one of the potential benefits of dealing with an ISO 9001 (properly) certified supplier.
