Purpose
This template helps you evaluate supplier performance consistently, store review results, and trigger predictable remediation when performance falls short. Use it during quarterly reviews, vendor audits, or after significant incidents.
How to use
- Enter objective metric values where available.
- Use ratings and comments for qualitative judgments.
- Select recommended actions when thresholds are breached.
- Record escalation decisions and assign owners and deadlines.
Sample quarterly review agenda
- Welcome & objectives (5 min)
- Performance highlights & scorecard review (15 min)
- Root causes for issues & corrective actions (20 min)
- Commercial & pricing discussion (10 min)
- Supply continuity & alternate sourcing plan (10 min)
- Agreement on actions, owners, timelines (10 min)
- Wrap-up & next meeting date (5 min)
Escalation thresholds (example)
- Green — no action: Overall score >= 85
- Yellow — improvement plan: Overall score 70–84 OR any single critical metric below threshold
- Red — probation / source alternative: Overall score < 70 OR repeated critical failures (e.g., >3 quality incidents in quarter)
Remediation & alternate onboarding playbook (short)
- Issue documented and corrective action plan (CAP) agreed within 7 days.
- Supplier on probation; weekly progress reports for 8 weeks.
- If CAP fails, initiate alternate onboarding: confirm specs → small-quantity trial order → quality & delivery check → scale-up.
