Supplier Performance Tracking – What to Measure

Track suppliers to know who delivers on time and who doesn’t.

Metrics

• On-time delivery – % of orders delivered by promised date
• Quality – Returns, damage, wrong items
• Price – Compare with other suppliers
• Fill rate – % of ordered items actually supplied

Simple Approach

Note in a book or spreadsheet: supplier, order date, promised date, actual date, issues. Review monthly.

Act On It

• Reward good suppliers with more orders
• Push back on late or poor-quality ones
• Have backup suppliers for critical items
