If you are shipping parts into a Ford, Getrag-Ford-Transmission (GFT) GmbH, Ford Sollers, or Ford Otosan location there are different systems used for material management and for supplier performance rating.
In addition, Ford expects their suppliers to actively use further systems supporting Product Development, Purchasing, and Quality activities.
The following tables give an overview of which systems are involved, how you can access them, which training classes are available through the European Ford training organisation (Ford Learning & Development at Cologne, Germany and Dunton, UK), and where to find online training materials.
