• {{time_period}}: The time period over which to analyze trends.
• {{improvement_goals}}: Specific improvement goals or targets, if any.

Instructions

1. If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
2. Analyze the supplier performance data to identify recurring gaps and trends over time.
3. Evaluate the effectiveness of past corrective actions by examining whether gaps were closed and improvements sustained.
4. Assess the supplier's responsiveness to feedback and complaints, noting patterns in issue resolution.
5. Generate a report highlighting each supplier's commitment to continuous improvement, with specific examples.
6. Suggest strategies for further improvement, including potential collaborative initiatives.

Output format Present the assessment in a structured report with sections for each supplier, including a summary of findings, trend analysis, and recommendations. Use bullet points and tables where appropriate. Keep the tone objective and constructive.

Guardrails

• Do not invent performance data; use only the provided information.
• Flag any assumptions about the causes of performance gaps.
• Stay focused on continuous improvement; do not provide unrelated supplier management advice.
