Customer flow-downs to suppliers (“supplier flow-downs”)  is often times an after-thought in most organizations.  However, regulated industries (e.g., aerospace, medical, automotive) and those organizations operating under ISO 9001 are swiftly bringing the subject of customer flow-downs to the forefront of maintaining compliance within supply chains.  As a result, organizations are becoming shocked with requirements such as AS13100-2021 are being explicitly flowed-down by larger OEM’s, putting them in a scramble to comply.
 
This presentation is designed to provide understanding of some organizational mindsets causing this game of catch-up, the “ideal model” of an effective system of supplier flow-downs, and suggested strategies of corrective action to diagnose and remediate systems of supplier quality to fill compliance gaps.  My objective is to raise awareness on the subject of supplier flow-downs to every level of quality professional such that your organizations can benefit from your ability communicate the importance of the subject through all levels and encourage participation in remediation and maintenance of compliance throughout the product lifecycle.
