How to evaluate the quality of suppliers in a PIM`s Company X

Abstract

The research was carried out in Company X that operates in the electronics industry at Manaus Industrial Pole (PIM). The objective is to propose a system of indicators to evaluate the quality of suppliers, in order to enable the relationship`s continuous improvement among company and its suppliers. Based in the collection and analyzed data, it was possible to identify six successful cases of suppliers' quality assessment indicators system, which permitted to propose, in partnership with managers, a model that does not need a high cost investment to implement it. Finally, it was suggested to company: a) computerize this process; b) to train employees that work in quality material sector; c) to strengthen relationships with current and future suppliers by showing the company's new vision and model. Doing so, it is believed that the company studied will have a great advance in the field of raw material acquisition, thus obtaining more quality and may be more competitive in the market.

A survey of TiOλ567 nm absorption in solar-type stars

“…They found significant level of correlation between CaI I and NaI absorption and confirm that NaI D1&D2 lines can be used as an activity indicator in stars with low level of activity. While Gomes da Silva et al (2011) asserted that index manipulating HeI variability is a poor indicator of stellar activ- ity, Saar et al (1997) claimed, they have found correlation between HeI D3 and CaI I H&K variation. Solar-type spectra are also covered with molecular absorption.…”

“…Activity in solar-type stars is relatively old subject in astrophysics which has been addressed by many authors (Wilson 1968(Wilson , 1978Saar et al 1997;Santos et al 2000;Diaz et al 2007;Boisse et al 2009;Cincunegui et al 2007;Lovis et al 2011;Gomes da Silva et al 2011). In late 60's Wilson (1968Wilson ( , 1978 introduced an index, S, to measures the CaI I H&K lines emission.…”

“…He observed a series of F6 to M5.5 dwarfs and found that these two lines can be used as activity indicator in stars with high level of activity and exhibit the Balmer lines in emission. Gomes da Silva et al (2011) have computed activity in a sample of late M stars using indicators which was defined based on variability in a series of absorption lines including CaI I, NaI and H α . They found significant level of correlation between CaI I and NaI absorption and confirm that NaI D1&D2 lines can be used as an activity indicator in stars with low level of activity.…”
