Supplier Scorecard Skill

A supplier review that ends with "keep monitoring" is a meeting, not a decision. This skill turns delivery, quality, responsiveness, and cost data into a weighted quarterly grade with trend direction — and forces one of three outcomes: escalate, develop, or exit. It also audits whether last quarter's corrective actions actually closed, because a supplier who commits and doesn't deliver is telling you something.

What This Skill Produces

• A weighted performance grade (0–100) across five dimensions with trend arrows vs. prior quarters
• Per-dimension evidence: OTIF %, PPM/defect rate, response metrics, cost behavior
• Corrective-action follow-through audit (committed vs. closed)
• A classification — Preferred / Approved / Conditional / Exit-candidate — and a recommended action path
• Talking points for the supplier business review

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

• Supplier & spend — name, category, annual spend, share of category, single/dual-sourced
• Delivery data — OTIF % (on-time in-full) for the quarter, plus 2–3 prior quarters for trend
• Quality data — PPM or defect rate, customer complaints traced to this supplier, any stop-ships
• Responsiveness — quote turnaround, engineering-change response, escalation behavior
• Cost behavior — price changes vs. market/index, cost-reduction commitments delivered
• Open corrective actions — CAPAs/SCARs from prior reviews and their status

If history is missing, score the current quarter and label trends [no baseline — first scored quarter]. Infer reasonable dimension detail from a thin brief and label it [inferred].

Scoring Framework

Default weights (adjust for category — e.g., quality-critical items shift quality to 35%):

Dimension	Weight	5 (excellent)	3 (acceptable)	1 (failing)
