A supplier scorecard is a repeatable view of supplier performance or risk against defined measures, weights, periods, evidence sources, targets, and ownership. Measures can cover quality, delivery, service, cost, responsiveness, compliance, innovation, or risk. The score should support discussion and action; it should not hide missing data or substitute one aggregate number for judgment.
In plain English
It shows how a supplier is performing against agreed, evidence-based measures.
Illustrative example
At Northstar Industrial Systems, the quarterly scorecard combines on-time delivery, defect rate, service response, corrective actions, and document status with source and period details.
