Also known as: Vendor scorecard

A supplier scorecard is a tool that rates a supplier's performance against weighted criteria such as delivery, quality, price and responsiveness.

A scorecard turns subjective impressions of a supplier into a single, comparable rating. Buyers agree the criteria that matter — on-time delivery, defect rate, pricing competitiveness, service — and weight them by importance, then score each supplier periodically against real data.

Scorecards drive supplier relationship management: they highlight who to reward with more business, who needs a performance conversation, and who should be replaced. Sharing scores with suppliers also motivates improvement.
