Whirlpool Laundry Clyde & Marion PlantsAn EPI SDE will support supplier emergency management situations from a quality perspective. Characteristics of a typical emergency management situation at a supplier include: capacity issues, supplier unable to meet plant demand due to quality issues, alignment on visual quality standard, etc. In all of these situations, the Whirlpool plant in question is likely very close to shutting down production lines due to lack of supply or poor quality from supplier. Controlled Shipping: The purpose of this procedure is to protect Whirlpool plants from receiving non-conforming materials and parts that are not consistent with Whirlpool’s zero defect philosophy. Controlled shipping is to be implemented when a supplier has continued to ship a known failure mode to a Whirlpool plant after containment action has been identified and implemented through the use of the 8D tool. Controlled Shipping follows an escalation process from 8D to CS1 (mandated 100% sort with supplier personnel) to CS2 (mandated 100% third party sort to accompany CS1 sort). Supplier Relocations: Supplier relocation situations arise when Whirlpool shifts business from one supplier to another. This typically involves the transfer of Whirlpool-owned tools/equipment. In the case of a supplier relocation, all parts/tools that are being transferred to a new supplier must be PPAP approved. The EPI SDE will support supplier relocation events by coordinating the submission of PPAPs by the new supplier, and the approval of these PPAPs by the necessary plant SQE.
