Overview

“Walk into any mid-market procurement function and you will find supplier scorecards,” the guide opens. “They sit in shared drives, refresh quarterly (sometimes), and circulate to executives in steering decks. Walk into the same organization a year later and ask the suppliers what those scorecards measured, how they were scored, and what changed because of them.”

Built around five principles of supplier performance management, this guide covers supplier segmentation (a four-tier model), how to select the right KPIs from six metric categories — quality, delivery, cost, service, risk & compliance, and innovation — how to design a scorecard that actually drives behavior, weighting and composite scoring, the Quarterly Business Review playbook, corrective action plans, and a phased rollout plan, closing with ten common failure modes and how to avoid them.

Who This Is For

• Procurement and supplier-management professionals building or refreshing a scorecard program
• Category managers responsible for critical or strategic suppliers
• Procurement leaders preparing for Quarterly Business Reviews
• Teams designing KPI dashboards or supplier-performance tooling
