Scorecard

Purpose: A supplier scorecard is “used to report a supplier’s performance on key performance

indicators (KPI)”. (Swink, page 350). As a consumer, you have suppliers—every company you do business

with is a supplier. Using the criteria outlined below, create a weighted supplier scorecard for three of

your suppliers.

Required: Students are to evaluate at least three suppliers using at least four criteria. The exact design,

weighting and criteria are up to the individual student. The purpose of weighting is to ensure emphasis

is placed on the selection criteria that are most important to you. Therefore, the weights must be

different for each criterion.

The suppliers may provide either a service or a product, but all the suppliers must ones which provide

the same products or services. For example, you could evaluate Fred Meyer, Target and Walmart.

The final scorecard should include the following:

• An explanation of each criteria

• The data used to create the scorecard. For example, if price is one of the criteria, list the prices

charged by all the suppliers.

• A detailed explanation of the rating and its meaning. For example, what does a ‘1’ signify? How

was it determined?

• A description and explanation of the scorecard, including why you selected the criteria and

weighting you selected. Include your thoughts on how this information could influence your

buying decision.

Deliverables: The assignment is broken into three parts - the topic, the rough draft and the final version.

Students will receive feedback from the instructor on each portion of the assignment. In addition, each

student will share her/his rough draft with group members, each of whom will provide feedback.

Students will have the opportunity to edit, modify or change the assignment at any point up to the time

the final version is submitted.

Below is a list of the deliverables for each portion of the assignment.

The Topic: The actual format is up to each student. Regardless of the format, the following

information should be included with the topic proposal.

• Information on the type of suppliers or the supplier category. For example: Stores that sell grain

free dog food or day care providers in a certain area.

• The names of at least three suppliers.

• A list of at least four evaluation criteria. The criteria must be quantifiable. For example: price,

customer service, hours of operation, varieties offered, etc.

• A definition or explanation of the criteria. For example: The “price” is based on an average of

the prices charged for items in this category. (must include the list)

• Weights of each criterion expressed as a percentage.

The Rough Draft: Should contain everything from the topic portion, plus the following:

• A detailed explanation of the rating system. For example, what does a ‘1’ under price signify?

What does a ‘2’ in customer service indicate?

• The rating and ranking of all the suppliers.

• A detailed explanation of the scorecard, including why you selected the criteria, why you chose

the weighting you chose and how this information could be used to influence future buying

decisions.

• The data used to create the scorecard. For example, if price is one of the criteria, list the prices

charged by all the suppliers.

The Final Draft: Should contain everything from the rough draft and incorporate feedback from the

instructor as well as from classmates. Note - it is up to each student to determine what peer

feedback to incorporate and how.

The summary must be written in complete sentences. While grading is not heavily weighted on

grammar and spelling, these elements will be taken into consideration, as will overall format and

readability of the scorecard.

An examples of scorecard can be found in the textbook and D2L. Think outside of the box - if you had a

small business, what would you like to know about your suppliers?
