UNDERSTANDING SUPPLIERS CAPABILITIES AND PERFORMANCE
Understanding supplier capabilities and performance is vital to ensuring a well-functioning electronics supply network. Key challenges are using scorecards to get suppliers to improve their performance and capturing the value gained from the process. Many electronic firms have created supplier scorecards, as they are considered an essential business and supplier performance analytical tool. The challenge is making the process successful, which takes continued focus, feedback, and mutual effort from customer firms and their suppliers.
By capturing the value from a supplier scorecard process, supply managers and executives are better able to execute an effective electronics procurement strategy. A successful scorecard process can impact the bottom line of the organization, lower supplier risk, and improve responsiveness to customers. Getting from creating supplier scorecards to improving supplier performance requires understanding supplier scorecards as a business and change management process and focusing on metrics execution and performance improvement. This webinar will address how to create effective supplier scorecards and a successful scorecard process.
