Correct Answer: D

The best way to reduce variation in products from a supplier is to help the supplier develop quality control processes. This proactive approach helps to address the root cause of variation rather than just identifying defects after they occur. By improving the supplier's internal processes, the overall quality of products is enhanced, leading to more consistent outcomes and reducing the need for extensive inspections or audits.

I believe C is the correct answer. It is the supplier's responsibility to improve their processes and decrease variation. What you can do is conduct regular audits, identify gaps, request an action plan, and follow up regularly. If the supplier needs help with implementation, such as SPC other tools, the SQ team can provide training and guidance. Therefore, conducting audits and developing an action plan is the best course of action.
