EMBRY RIDDLE LGMT536 3.3 - Discussion: Supplier Selection

Post a complete and thoughtful response to one of the discussion topics below:

• Topic 1: Should the suppliers be rewarded for continuously improving quality or is that something which is already expected? Without mentioning the name of the organization you work for or any of your suppliers, discuss the policy (reward or no reward) used by your organization.

• Topic 2: How can the internet be used to enable supplier selection? As you know, not all information found on the internet is correct. How would you confirm the information and make use of it in supplier selection?

• Topic 3: Quality management, especially Six Sigma, has become the non de plume of recent years for manager wannabes. To separate you from the pack, discuss how quality management is different from Six Sigma and present the ramifications of poor quality management implementation.

After posting your response, provide feedback to at least two of your peers in more than one topic area. Review the grading rubric for detailed grading criteria.
