What is it?

What is it for?

The Materials Management Operations Guideline and Logistics Evaluation (MMOG/LE) is a global guideline of best practices for Suppliers and OEMs. This is a self-assessment tool developed to address more efficient flow of information and product within all tiers of the supply chain. The MMOG identifies high risk processes like Capacity Planning, as well as, criteria that identify the Best in Class among suppliers.

It is no longer enough to provide a quality product; quality service must be equally important. MMOG/LE is an MP&L audit that aligns with the ISO/TS 16949 and lean principles that both take the "process approach" for identifying, developing, implementing and improving effective processes.

Why
To understand and meet customer requirements;
To gain a competitive edge by adding value;
For continuous improvement of existing processes through establishing and monitoring KPIs;
To save money by reducing inefficiencies.

The Global MMOG/LE self-assessment tool is a complex spreadsheet that uses weighted questions to determine which areas should be given high priority.

F3 - Capacity Planning 3.3.1

Operational parameters (e.g. transport time, lead times, inventory levels, packaging) and internal production requirements (e.g. supplier constraints, scrap rates, set-up times) shall be integrated into the production planning system.

F3 - Engineering Change Control (EDI) 5.3.1

The MP&L function shall participate in the engineering change process to ensure all material planning and logistics requirements are addressed and all changes that affect the supply process are planned, executed, and communicated in a synchronized manner (e.g. BOM, routings, effective dates, supplier notification, scheduling, shipping). Back-up plans shall be in place to ensure continuity of supply.

Traceability (Data Collection) 5.4.1

There shall be a process in place that satisfies customer, industry, government and/or internationally mandated traceability standards, including reporting requirements, for all affected parts (e.g. Transportation Recall Enhancement, Accountability and Documentation (TREAD) Act, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FIVES), End of Life Vehicle (ELVA)).

Electronic Communication (iSC) 6.3.2

The extent to which traditional EDI or web-based solutions is used with sub-suppliers is in compliance with customer requirements (e.g. all sub-suppliers, critical commodities, purchase value, part volume).
