OVERVIEW

What is Supplier Performance Evaluation?

A solid supply chain is a key element of every successful business. Regardless of your industry, strong relationships with your suppliers can help you reduce production time, lower expenses, and assure the quality of your items.

Most organizations regularly evaluate their suppliers’ performance in search of inefficiencies or possibilities for improvement. Supplier performance evaluations (SPEs) are a formal way to monitor your vendors’ compliance with your expectations and identify opportunities to work more effectively together.

At InHouse our SPE process typically includes three stages: data collection, supplier feedback, and corrective action planning. Data collection is the first step in every evaluation and usually entails surveying customers, conducting supplier audits, and reviewing internal performance data. After you’ve collected enough data, it’s time to compare your findings with your expectations and give feedback to your suppliers. Finally, you and the supplier will develop a corrective action plan to address any areas of concern.
