Planning a Supplier Performance System
Before you begin the supplier performance setup, you should first plan your system. Basic information you should decide and plan before setting up a supplier performance system includes:
The categories and events to monitor
The impact or value of events
The suppliers, items, sites, and/or commodity codes to monitor
The impact or value of events for specific registrations
For example, does registration A in another country receive the same late penalties as registration B, located across town?
The computational system to use for each category
Which suppliers should receive e-mail performance reports
