Create weighted evaluation criteria
Assign explicit weights to documentation completeness, traceability quality, and policy controls before pricing analysis.
Weighting first prevents pricing from dominating decisions when quality evidence is weak.

Use weighted criteria to compare suppliers beyond price and improve repeatability of sourcing decisions.
Assign explicit weights to documentation completeness, traceability quality, and policy controls before pricing analysis.
Weighting first prevents pricing from dominating decisions when quality evidence is weak.
Every score input should link to source evidence such as COA records, policy documents, and response SLAs.
Evidence-linked scoring makes re-evaluation faster when supplier behavior changes.
Supplier performance can drift; schedule quarterly review cycles to refresh scorecards with recent incidents and outcomes.
Drift analysis supports contract adjustments and reduces reactive sourcing changes.
