ow to Create a Supplier Evaluation Scorecard

A supplier evaluation scorecard helps you objectively rate and compare vendors. Here's how to build one.

Key Metrics to Track

• Quality: Defect rate, return rate, compliance
• Price: Competitiveness, price stability, discounts
• Delivery: On-time rate, lead time consistency
• Communication: Response time, accuracy, proactiveness
• Reliability: Order accuracy, packaging quality

Scoring System

Rate each metric 1-5 (1=poor, 5=excellent). Weight each category based on importance. Calculate weighted average.

When to Re-Evaluate

Quarterly for critical suppliers, annually for others. Track trends over time.
