Purpose
This chart provides a breakdown of grading by Yard and Carrier, showing how many parts were assessed in each category. They add context to the overall grading percentages by showing where most of the grading work is being done.
Key Metrics
-
Yard Grading – Parts graded due to perceived yard operation issues, often reflecting internal inspection standards.
-
Carrier Grading – Parts graded due to an issue with carriers (trucking companies within the network), capturing quality at the shipping/handling stage.
-
Monthly Comparisons – Side-by-side bars show how grading activity shifts month to month.
Insights to Look For
-
Quality assurance coverage: If purchased parts show heavy grading but sold parts do not, there may be an opportunity to adjust your trading partners or open a discussion into how they can better package and protect you orders etc.
-
Trend spotting: A spike in grading in either category could indicate increased issues (example: a vendor with poor quality control) or stricter enforcement of quality checks.
