- An effective supplier evaluation system generates a positive impact on purchasing performance :
- Shared assessment of supplier strong and weak points
- Show up points to be discussed during negotiation
- Enabling cost reductions without changing supplier
- Discovering new areas of progress through reciprocal assessment (i.e. accepting supplier evaluation of his customer !)
Our experience shows that setting up a globally consolidated evaluation system is difficult, especially for large companies where spend and suppliers are spread over many sites. Several pre-requisites exist : standard reference tables for the supplier base and for spend segmentation, axes for assessement and scoring methods, and of course the people tasked to perform the assessments ! (end users, buyers, engineers…)
Better Buying Concepts has developed a proven approach for setting up supplier assessment systems, adapted to all sizes of company.
