Vendor Score Card Follow

Vendor Score Card allows users to address common questions about their vendors in a search-enabled dashboard. This score card is a single source for information on vendor spend, financial ratings, vendor locations, as well as vendor-specific opportunities and risks.

Vendor Score Card

This graphic below is an overview of the Vendor Score Card and the numbers correspond to the listed explanation below.

Within Vendor Score Card, the user can:

1. Distinguish between Manufacturer or Supplier and perform a search for an individual vendor.
2. View a list of vendors that are default sorted by Spend and click into them to load their score card.
   • By default, the highest spend Vendor will have their score card automatically loaded to start.
   • Other column headers can be clicked to sort, including Opportunities by descending order in currency, or Vendor name in ascending alphabetical order (depicted below)

     

3. Review the Financial Health Rating (FHR) of the vendor with a color scale underneath, and below that, the vendor company’s stock price over the last year.
   • Hover over the color scale elements to see the rating bracket of each; however, in general it is 0-100 in five segments of 20 from Red to Blue in the array listed.
   • Hover over the stock price to see the value at any point in time in the past year.

     

4. Spend and Savings Trend shows a graph with time series on the X-axis and the Y-axis is doubled by both data elements:
   • Savings % is on the left-bound Y-axis and in a light blue trend line
   • Spend amount is on the right-bound Y-axis and in a red bar graph
   • Hovering over any time entry (e.g. Jan 1 2023 in the screenshot) displays a tooltip of these values.

     

5. Vendor Locations shows a world map with a legend for site type, and users can:
   • Scroll the mouse wheel on the map to zoom in or zoom out or press the plus/minus buttons
   • Hover over a site location for a tooltip with specific geographic information
   • This information is useful for assessing geographic risk in your supply chain.

     

6. Top Opportunities and Risks shows the three highest priority parts under this vendor. The highlighted part numbers below will be used to demonstrate cross-platform features.

   

   • Top Opportunity Logic aggregates the next four quarters of opportunities for all Manufacturer Part Numbers (MPNs) with this vendor and sorts it in descending order by opportunity amount. These values can be corroborated in the Review Opportunities feature and actioned there.

     

     

   • Top Risk Logic aggregates MPNs with this vendor and sorts them by descending order via four factors including lead time length, nearest years to end of life (YTEOL), single source risk, and total spend. These parts can be reviewed in other areas of the platform like Leadtime Trends (View by MPN Search) and Manufacturer Risk (Scope Filter to MPN) for more detailed and actionable information on risks.
