# How Can I Automate a Supplier Corrective Action Request?

You automate supplier corrective action requests by triggering the request the moment a non-conformance is traced back to a specific supplier, instead of a manual follow-up step. On **Jestor**, this runs through automation connecting non-conformances to supplier requests.

A supplier-caused defect identified without an automatic follow-up request risks the issue never actually being formally communicated back to the supplier for correction.

## What manual supplier follow-up costs

- A supplier-caused issue never formally communicated back for correction
- Delay between identifying a supplier-caused defect and actually requesting action
- Inconsistent follow-up depending on whether someone remembers to send the request
- No structured record of what was requested and the supplier's response

## How automated supplier corrective action requests work

- A non-conformance traced to a specific **supplier** triggers a request automatically
- The request routes to the supplier with the relevant defect details attached
- No manual step is needed to remember to follow up
- The supplier's response stays tracked and connected to the original issue

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Automatic triggering removes the risk of a supplier issue never being communicated
- Faster requests follow directly from the automated connection
- Consistent follow-up applies regardless of staff workload or memory
- This scales from occasional supplier issues to a high-volume quality operation

| Manual supplier follow-up | Automated corrective action request    |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------- |
| Risk of being forgotten   | Triggered automatically from the issue |
