🔍 Periodic Supplier Evaluation Based on Performance, Compliance, and Documentation
Real data to justify renewals, alerts, or strategic changes
Evaluating suppliers periodically is key to improving the supply chain, reducing risks, and making objective decisions.
However, many organizations still rely on informal or occasional assessments that leave no traceability and do not justify why a supplier is maintained or replaced.
A proper evaluation should include:
📦 Quality of delivered products or services
⏱️ Punctuality and compliance with deadlines
📄 Status of legal and contractual documentation
📉 History of incidents or non-conformities
🧾 Compliance with agreed conditions (price, quantity, frequency)
When suppliers are not formally evaluated:
❌ Suppliers are kept out of habit, not performance
❌ No data to support decisions in case of conflict
❌ Opportunities for improvement or renegotiation go unnoticed
❌ Audits lack evidence to justify business relationships
⚠️ Risks of not evaluating suppliers periodically
- Loss of quality, efficiency, or competitiveness in the supply chain
- Undetected regulatory non-compliance
- Inability to justify changes to management or auditors
- Greater dependence on inefficient or irregular suppliers
- Lack of arguments in negotiations or bidding processes

- Create evaluation forms with category-specific criteria
(e.g., services, raw materials, transport, maintenance, etc.) - Integrate real supplier data
(expirations, deliveries, incidents, compliance documentation) - Assign internal evaluators (Purchasing, Quality, H&S, etc.)
Each can score and comment based on their experience - Generate a global score and classify suppliers
(Critical, satisfactory, acceptable, to be reviewed) - Identify improvement points or non-compliances to address
Directly trigger an action plan if needed - Full evaluation history to justify any decision
Perfect for renewals, exclusions, or negotiations
