Supplier Scorecard Kit

Manage the suppliers who can hurt you, on evidence, on a rhythm — and write the exit before you need it.

What it is

Replaces "he's a good guy, we've used him for years" with a record. Segments the supply base so only the suppliers who can actually hurt you get managed, builds a scorecard whose every criterion has a source you already possess, runs the quarterly conversation that opens with the supplier's view of you, and arms the two things owners never have ready in time — the improvement notice and the exit plan. For owners, operations managers and buyers who depend on a few suppliers and have never written down what good is.

What you receive

your suppliers judged on evidence instead of impressions — a segmented supply base, a weighted scorecard of four to six criteria each tied to data you already hold, the quarterly review script and record, the escalation ladder up to a formal improvement notice, and a written exit plan for every critical supplier
