IMDS Consulting

What is IMDS?
 
The abbreviation stands for “International Material Data System”.
It is a web-based data system that complies with the requirements of the EU Directive 2000/53 / EC (Directive 2000/53/EC – the “ELV Directive”).
 
This directive aims at making dismantling and recycling of ELVs more environmentally friendly. It sets clear quantified targets for reuse, recycling and recovery of the ELVs and their components. It also pushes producers to manufacture new vehicles without hazardous substances (in particular lead, mercury, cadmium and hexavalent chromium), thus promoting the reuse, recyclability and recovery of waste vehicles

Supplier Development Programe - Project SMART

Project SMART targets to drive down GII and develop suppliers to ensure process controls are in place and their final inspections are robust enough to prevent Clients to carrying out verification processes and faulty parts getting to our customers. Below you can find some benefits of this programme.

Have "The right amount” of suppliers.

  • Quality & delivery you can rely on – min ISO9001 for products and services incorporated into your own products.
  • Controlled by management of suppliers, not by inspection (“Ship to stock”).
  • Standardisation of components across core product range (“parts bin” / catalogue)
  • Maximise economies of scale with core supply base (“a lot from a few”).
  • Receipt of final parts from suppliers (they control all sub-processes).

Identify and manage critical suppliers based on risk

  • Financially sound
  • Risk mitigation / contingency plan in place
  • Close relationships – owned by purchasing
  • Work with suppliers ASAP in projects – provide complete and full specification
  • Supplier selection handled by purchasing
  • Supplier performance managed by purchasing (KPI’s and corrective actions)
  • Two-way flow of information from suppliers (Utilise their knowledge base).
  • Involve internal purchasing in initial project scoping/planning

Design for manufacture

  • Re-prioritise selection criteria
  • Quality and delivery at the right price

Internal/ Supplier Audits
ISO 9001

  • An effective Internal Audit Program is essential to the success of your Management System.
  • Use it as a tool to maintain, adjust and improve the Management System. It is one of the mandatory requirements of the standard.
  • Without auditing, there is no assurance that the Management System is effective and efficient. The value of a Management System implementation is questionable when there is no objective evidence that best practices are implemented, conformance is constant, and corrective actions are effective.
  •  Without auditing, the initial ROI of implementation is likely to diminish significantly.
