Vendor Scorecard Design

Build a balanced scorecard model that operations, procurement, and finance can all use to make confident vendor decisions.

Dimension 1: Service Reliability

Track on-time arrival, completion speed, and first-visit resolution to assess day-to-day execution quality.

Dimension 2: Work Quality

Measure rework rates, post-job defects, and QA pass rates to separate fast vendors from dependable vendors.

Dimension 3: Commercial Value

Evaluate cost predictability, estimate variance, and invoice accuracy to protect margins without undercutting quality.

Scorecard Governance Rhythm

Weekly Operations Review

Use leading indicators like response-time drift and open-critical volume to catch risk before SLA breaches.

Monthly Vendor Business Review

Review composite score trends, root causes, and corrective plans with accountable owners and target dates.
