Quality leaders who oversee supplier management can use this document to increase the likelihood suppliers will comply with change control practices.  \nOverview  \nAs part of their efforts to improve supplier management, quality leaders have noticed that supplier changes often go unreported or are reported too late. Our analysis reveals three main reasons suppliers fail to comply with change control practices:  \n■ The process is too cumbersome.  \n■ They are unaware of the change control process.  \n■ They fear possible repercussions.  \nTrends suggest that ensuring suppliers’ discipline is only going to get harder. Thus, increasing the likelihood that suppliers will report all changes on time is a top priority for quality leaders who oversee supplier management. This document provides an overview of three successful approaches to accomplish this goal:  \n1. Establishing a clear and simple process for supplier change control  \n2. Giving suppliers’ leaders resources they can use to train middle managers  \n3. Appealing to suppliers’ emotions by rewarding positive behaviors and penalizing negative ones  \nKey Findings  \nWe use cookies to deliver the best possible experience on our website.

Therefore, quality leaders must use rewards and penalties to influence suppliers’behaviors when it comes to change control.  \n■ Because just one unreported change can have significant negative consequences, organizations must set up mechanisms to monitor and ensure suppliers are reporting all changes in a timely manner.  \nEnsuring That Suppliers Report All Changes Will Get Harder  \nQuality leaders have observed that supplier changes go unreported or are reported too late. The consequences of unreported changes vary, including poor product launches, product recalls, a higher volume of warranty complaints or returns, and the implementation of unexpected adjustments or enhancements that lead to delays. Ultimately, all these consequences result in high costs (often paid for by suppliers) and a negative reputation for the company. For example, the average product delay can cost a company 15% to 35% of the net present value. [1]  \nFour trends make it harder for quality leaders to ensure suppliers report all changes in a timely manner:  \n1. The Innovative Business Environment — With the rise of new technologies and platforms, companies are innovating more. As a result, more changes are taking place, so there is more that needs to be reported. This makes it harder for suppliers to follow change control procedures completely and in a timely way.  \n2.
