Why This Is Needed
Suppliers can fail for many reasons: quality drift, limited capacity, price increases, management changes, export issues, tooling disputes, or slow response. Without transferable documentation, switching suppliers becomes slow and expensive.
What FactoryFrontier Does
- Identify sole-source parts, processes, tools, test fixtures, and supplier-held knowledge.
- Decide which items need backup suppliers and which can remain single-source temporarily.
- Prepare transferable documentation: drawings, BOM, CTQ, test plan, packaging specs, and golden sample records.
- Build a second-source qualification plan and trigger logic for supplier transfer.
What You Receive
- Sole-source risk map.
