leveranciersscorecard

Leveranciersscorecard is a structured performance measurement tool used by organizations to evaluate and manage the performance of suppliers. It aggregates data across multiple dimensions to provide an objective, time-based view of supplier performance, supporting procurement decisions and supplier development. In Dutch and Dutch-influenced contexts the term is common; in English it is usually translated as supplier scorecard or vendor scorecard.

A typical scorecard includes key performance indicators across categories such as delivery and quality, cost and efficiency, service and responsiveness, risk and compliance, and sustainability. Common metrics include on-time delivery rate, fill rate, defect rate, warranty costs, price competitiveness, lead time variability, compliance with contractual requirements, audit findings, and supplier diversity. Some scorecards incorporate risk indicators like financial stability, geographic concentration, supply disruptions, and geopolitical risk. Scoring may use weighted averages, with targets and thresholds to classify performance as exemplary, satisfactory, or needs improvement. Data sources may include ERP systems, quality management systems, supplier portals, and audits. Reviews are typically conducted quarterly, with scores informing contract decisions, supplier development plans, and segmentation.

Benefits include objective evaluation, increased transparency, improved risk management, and focused supplier development. Challenges include data quality and consistency, system integration, burden on suppliers to provide data, and aligning metrics with strategic goals.

Leveranciersscorecard is used across industries to manage supplier relationships within supplier relationship management programs and to support sourcing strategy, risk management, and continuous improvement initiatives.
