Supplier evaluation in SC-Manager: Efficiency and transparency in supplier management
The supplier evaluation is a central component of SC-Manager and provides companies with a solid foundation for efficient and strategically aligned supplier management. With methodical and automated supplier evaluations, not only does it make the performance of your supply chain partners transparent, but it also creates a foundation for informed purchasing decisions.
Methodical evaluation of supplier performance
SC-Manager's supplier evaluation is based on a weighted scorecard that considers both "hard facts" and "soft facts." The hard facts are extracted directly from document data, such as delivery times, quality, or price deviations. The soft facts, on the other hand, are gathered through surveys in relevant departments like procurement, quality assurance, and project management. This combination of quantitative and qualitative data creates a comprehensive and realistic evaluation of supplier performance.
With pre-designed evaluation templates, companies can regularly and automatically evaluate their suppliers, which significantly reduces the effort and ensures consistent and comparable results.
Scorecards: Flexible and configurable evaluation systems
The scorecard in SC-Manager enables flexible supplier evaluation. You can set individual weighted criteria that can vary depending on the product group or department. The scorecard can be fully customized to meet the needs and strategic requirements of your company. Both the criteria and the associated questionnaires and surveys can be configured by your Key Users.
Reporting: Transparency at all levels
SC-Manager offers reporting functions that allow your company to present evaluation results transparently and in detail. Dashboards provide a clear overview of the current status and supplier history and enable drill-down to the document level. Additionally, reports can be created for suppliers and shared directly through the supplier portal, improving communication and collaboration.
With result communication through the supplier manager, both internal departments and suppliers themselves have access to detailed reports and analysis results at any time, enabling continuous improvement of supplier relationships.
Actions and goal orientation
The supplier evaluation of SC-Manager is not just an analysis tool but also offers extensive action management functions. Tasks can be delegated both internally and externally to suppliers, with each action clearly assigned to responsible parties. The system sends automatic notifications to ensure that all participants stay informed about deadlines and progress.
The integrated traffic light system signals in real-time if there are delays or deviations, allowing procurement to take quick and targeted action. Tasks can be directly linked to the evaluation criteria and results, further increasing efficiency in supplier management.
Conclusion
With SC-Manager’s supplier evaluation, companies lay the foundation for sustainable and strategically aligned supplier management. The combination of automated data analysis, flexible scorecards, and a comprehensive reporting system offers a powerful solution for optimizing supplier relationships and improving them in the long term through integrated action management.
