## Content

**Intro:** A supplier review that runs without an agenda turns into a complaint session. This template sets a 70-minute structure, captures the scorecard and ends with an owned action list.

**Sections:**

#### How to run the review

**Body:** Send the agenda and scorecard three days ahead so the supplier can prepare. Open with data, not opinions. Keep price topics to their own slot so they do not hijack quality discussion. Record decisions in the notes field and actions in the log, then send the exported PDF within 48 hours.

**Bullets:**

- Share the scorecard in advance.
- Limit each topic to its time box.
- Give every action an owner and a date.
- Review the previous action log first.

#### Which measures to bring

**Body:** Delivery performance against the confirmed date, quality as parts per million or rejected lots, corrective action closure time, lead time quoted against actual, price variance against standard and responsiveness. Choose three to five. Too many measures hide the point. Pull them from the ERP receipts and inspection records rather than from memory.

#### Using it with your ERP

**Body:** Most ERPs can report receipts against promise dates and inspection lots by vendor. Export those figures into the scorecard table before the meeting. Record the action items in the ERP vendor notes or your quality system so they are visible to planners and buyers who were not in the room.

#### Common mistakes

**Body:** Reviewing too many suppliers with the same intensity, holding the meeting only when something fails, letting actions drift without a date and presenting data the supplier has never seen. Reserve full reviews for strategic and high-risk suppliers and use a short email scorecard for the rest.

**Cta:** Netray can build a scorecard report that pulls delivery and quality by vendor from your ERP so the review starts with current data.

**Faq:**

#### How often should we hold supplier reviews?

**Answer:** Quarterly for strategic suppliers, twice a year for important ones, and by exception for the rest. Increase frequency during a recovery plan or a new launch.

#### Who should attend from our side?

**Answer:** The buyer or category manager, supplier quality, and the planner when delivery is an issue. Add engineering when design changes or capability are on the agenda.

#### Should we share our scorecard with the supplier?

**Answer:** Yes. Transparent, agreed measures drive improvement. Share definitions and sources so disputes about the numbers do not consume the meeting.

#### What do we do if a supplier keeps missing targets?

**Answer:** Put a written improvement plan with dates in the action log, escalate to senior contacts, and start qualifying alternate sources in parallel if the risk is high.
