Defect Pareto

90 days · 342 defect units across 9 codes · the cumulative line crosses 80% at the third code, so three conversations fix most of this

3.3% defect rate

STITCHCOLOREDGETARNISHCRUSHMISSINGLABELDENTOTHER

Traced to batch through serials. 61 of the 110 STITCH_FAIL units carry EPCs encoded against GRN-2026-0404, batch B-2604, PO-2026-0112. That trace exists only because the encode row carries a grn_line_id. In rfid-app today S01 encodes with no inflow or PO link at all, so this join is currently impossible and the defect just looks like a supplier average.

Lead time distribution

Last 24 receipts · promised is solid, p90 is dashed · the shape matters more than the mean

sigma 11.4d

3640444852566064687276+

The mean is 56 days and the mode is 54, but the tail is what costs money: two receipts past 68 days each stranded a reorder cycle. A supplier judged on the mean alone looks 11 days late; judged on the distribution it looks usually 9 days late and occasionally catastrophic, which is a different conversation and a different safety-stock number.

A cancelled PO is excluded from on-time, not scored as a miss. Counting a PO we cancelled against the supplier's record is how a scorecard stops being defensible in a negotiation.

Two batches carry 71 of the 90 STITCH_FAIL units: B-2604 and B-2402. Both were made on the same production line, which is a supplier conversation with a specific answer rather than a general complaint about quality.

CLM-0141 is not a supplier failure. The incoterm on the terms row effective on 16-01 was FOB, so transit damage is the carrier's, and the claim routes there automatically. Attribution is resolved by contract, not by whoever is loudest. Note also that no claim may close without either a credit note or a Finance-approved write-off: a claim that quietly ages to nothing is the failure mode this register exists to prevent.

Commercial terms

Append-only, non-overlapping

3 versions

Current
from 01-01-2026: USD · Net 90 · FOB Ningbo · lead promised 45d · on-time tolerance 3d · MOV USD 20,000 · contract ends 31-12-2026 · Bank of China, IBAN ...4118

from 01-04-2025 to 31-12-2025: USD · Net 60 · FOB Ningbo · lead promised 40d · tolerance 3d

from 15-03-2021 to 31-03-2025: USD · Net 45 · EXW Yiwu · lead promised 35d · tolerance 5d

A PO, an invoice and a claim each resolve the version effective on their own date. That is why CLM-0141 from January is judged under FOB and a claim raised today would be judged the same way, while a 2024 claim would have been EXW. Changing the payment terms to Net 90 in January did not make a single 2025 invoice retroactively current.

Enforced by a range-exclusion constraint, so two overlapping versions cannot exist even if two people edit at once.

MIN-2171	Passport sleeve	96	AED 24,000	104d	low · overstocked

Cover sorts NULL last and the header says so. MST-CRM-42-TAN has no computable cover because it was out of stock for 20 of the last 28 days, so its velocity denominator excludes those days rather than reading as infinite cover. Two SKUs have cover below the 56-day actual lead time, which means a reorder placed today arrives after the stockout.

INV-CIC-2026-038 fails only the price leg. The PO and GRN quantities agree exactly; the unit price is USD 0.42 above the PO price on 3 of 9 lines, which is AED 2,400. A price mismatch opens a price_variance claim and does not block the quantity from being booked, because holding an entire invoice hostage to a 0.5% price question is how a supplier stops shipping.

A credit note has no GRN leg, shown as - rather than a failed match. Rendering an absent leg as a failure is how a clean credit note ends up in a dispute queue.

States

Reading the supplier.

Hero, KPIs and both charts hold their heights. Tabs render lazily and none of them block the overview.

Empty

No receipts from this supplier yet.

Registered and approved but never delivered. Score is NULL rather than zero, and the tier chip reads new rather than C, because no measurement is not a bad measurement.

The Pareto could not be built.

The defect trace query timed out. The rest of the page is live; only this chart is blank, and it says so rather than rendering an empty axis that reads as zero defects.

Gate-blocked

Quality history is partial before 12-07.

Where the numbers come from

Nothing on this page is typed.

Spend comes from posted GRN lines at landed cost. Lead time is PO submit to first receipt. Defect rate is QC dispositions over units counted. On-time is against the terms version in force. Tier is the score. The only opinion here is is_preferred, and it is labelled.
