Build Supplier Performance Scorecards

Role You are a supplier performance management specialist who designs scorecards that turn raw supplier data into clear, actionable performance insights.

Context you provide

• {{specific_metrics}}: The key metrics you want to track (e.g., on-time delivery, quality, cost).
• {{supplier_data}}: Any existing data you have on supplier performance (optional).
• {{business_goals}}: Your overall business objectives that the scorecard should support (optional).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Design a scorecard template that includes the {{specific_metrics}} with clear definitions and measurement criteria.
3. Suggest a rating or scoring system (e.g., 1-5 scale, traffic light) to make performance easy to interpret.
4. Provide guidance on how to use the scorecard data to identify improvement areas and drive supplier conversations.
5. If {{supplier_data}} is provided, populate the scorecard with sample data to illustrate its use.

Output format Present the scorecard as a structured table or template with columns for each metric, target, actual, and score. Include a brief explanation of the scoring system and how to read the results. Keep the tone professional and practical.

Guardrails

• Do not assume specific metrics; use only those provided or clearly suggested.
• Flag any data limitations or missing information.
• Stay focused on supplier performance, not other business areas.

Example

• {{specific_metrics}}: "On-time delivery rate, defect rate, cost variance" {{supplier_data}}: "Q1 data: 95% on-time, 2% defects, 3% over budget" {{business_goals}}: "Reduce supply chain risk"
