如何提升供应商的能力

Last few more weeks ago, I had a interview with a US oriented company for SQE postion. The interviewer raised a question that if the supplier have no capability(quality and manufacturing) to produce the part we requested. How are you gonna support their improvement? This supplier is in the qualification phase, we have to get this supplier in our AVL due to the relastionship and price is much more favorable.

Just share w/ this question to you, and how do you answer it...
