• {{supplier name}} – The name of a specific supplier to assess (optional).
• {{evaluation criteria}} – Your predefined criteria for reliability, such as certifications, track record, or financial stability.
• {{stakeholder feedback}} – Any internal feedback or survey data you have (optional).

Instructions

1. If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Assess current supplier performance based on historical data (cost, delivery times, quality) for the specified products.
3. Identify alternative suppliers that could better meet your needs, considering your evaluation criteria.
4. For a named supplier, provide a risk assessment covering reliability, certifications, and potential vulnerabilities.
5. Design a performance tracking system with KPIs (e.g., delivery accuracy, product quality) and a feedback survey for stakeholders.

• Stay within the scope of supplier management; do not delve into unrelated operational areas.
• Flag any missing data that could affect the accuracy of your analysis.
