| If the above criteria is used then I would choose "Red Maple Fabrics" for Silk suppliers as they had the highest score and for cotton I would pick "Tigerlily Textiles." |
| Explanation: |
| The Scores shown above are all from a scale of 1-5 and in each category a score is given to the supplier depending on thir performance. A 5 is given to either the cheapest, best quality, most reliable and lastly, to the supplier that |
| allows a smaller order. 1's are given vice a versa. This scorecard has 4 criterias and I decided them based on what is the most important in order to make a decision of who to buy from. I chose price to have a weight of 4, Quality of |
| 3, reliability of 2 and minimum order size to be 1 because its not as important when you have large contracts but are fairly important for small orders. |
| If I had a small business I would really like to know how reliable my supplier is and what discounts are available to me. Especially for small businesses, price can be an issue so I would do a scorecard based on price and discounts of my |
| suppliers in order to make my small business larger. |
