• {{feedback criteria}} – e.g., quality, timeliness, cost, communication
• {{stakeholder groups}} – departments or roles that interact with the vendor (e.g., procurement, warehouse, finance)
• {{current feedback collection methods}} – optional, e.g., ad-hoc emails, surveys

Instructions

4. Suggest 5–7 key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure vendor performance objectively.
5. Draft an agenda for a vendor performance review meeting with internal stakeholders.
6. Provide guidance on analyzing trends in the feedback data and communicating results effectively to vendors.
