Supplier Performance Review Template (Scorecard, ISO 9001 8.4)
KPI definitions and bands, weighted scorecard with trend, corrective actions and SCAR, relationship plan, re-evaluation decision for external providers
उपयोग कैसे करें: Use it for the periodic review of one supplier and as the ISO 9001 external provider re-evaluation record. Fill the KPI formulas, bands and weights once per category, then the period data, and share the data before the meeting. The main pitfall is closing actions when they are done rather than when the KPI has recovered.

Supplier Performance Review: [Supplier name], [Period]
Periodic review of one supplier: weighted KPI scorecard, trend, corrective actions, relationship plan and the re-evaluation decision required for external providers. The re-evaluation record supports ISO 9001:2026 clause 8.4 (control of externally provided processes, products and services), and the relationship plan follows the collaborative relationship life cycle of ISO 44001:2017 (with Amd 1:2024). Both standards are cited by name and clause number only. Replace every
[bracketed]value and every row marked Example.

1. Summary
Example: Weighted score 3.00 of 5 (60%), down from 3.45 in Q2. Delivery held at band 3, quality fell to band 2 after a porosity defect on HSG-310 castings. Ostrelby stays approved (band B) with a supplier corrective action request (SCAR) and a quality improvement plan; next review in January 2027.
2. KPI definitions, bands and weights
| KPI | Formula | Data source | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery (OTIF) | Order lines delivered on time and in full / order lines due | ERP goods receipts | 98% or more | 95.0 to 97.9% | 90.0 to 94.9% | 85.0 to 89.9% | below 85% | 30% |
| Quality (PPM) | Parts rejected / parts received x 1,000,000 | Incoming inspection | 250 or less | 251 to 750 | 751 to 1,500 | 1,501 to 3,000 | above 3,000 | 30% |
| Responsiveness | Panel score: quote turnaround, query response, SCAR timeliness | Buyer and quality panel | Excellent | Good | Acceptable | Weak | Poor | 15% |
| Commercial | Panel score: price adherence, cost-down ideas, invoice accuracy | Buyer and AP | Excellent | Good | Acceptable | Weak | Poor | 15% |
| Sustainability and compliance | Panel score: code of conduct conditions, certificates, emissions data | Sustainability lead | Excellent | Good | Acceptable | Weak | Poor | 10% |
Weighted score = sum of (score x weight). Overall bands:
| Band | Weighted score | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | 4.00 to 5.00 | Preferred: first choice for new business |
| B | 3.00 to 3.99 | Approved |
| C | 2.00 to 2.99 | Conditional: improvement plan, no new business without approval |
| D | below 2.00 | Exit review |
Any single KPI scored 2 or lower triggers a SCAR, whatever the overall band.
3. Scorecard for the period
| KPI | Raw result | Score | Weight | Weighted | Previous period score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delivery (OTIF) | Example: 1,089 of 1,184 lines = 92.0% | 3 | 30% | 0.90 | 4 |
| Quality (PPM) | Example: 386 rejected of 214,500 received = 1,800 PPM | 2 | 30% | 0.60 | 3 |
| Responsiveness | Example: Quotes in 4 days on average, SCARs answered on time | 4 | 15% | 0.60 | 4 |
| Commercial | Example: Index-linked price applied correctly, two cost-down proposals | 4 | 15% | 0.60 | 3 |
| Sustainability and compliance | Example: Certificates valid, Scope 1 and 2 data supplied, Scope 3 not yet | 3 | 10% | 0.30 | 3 |
| Total | 100% | 3.00 (60%) | 3.45 |
Example note: the Q4 2025 score of 3.60 and the Q1 2026 score of 3.45 come from earlier reviews SPR-2025-Q4-007 and SPR-2026-Q1-007.
4. Issues and corrective actions
| Action ID | Issue | Root cause (supplier's analysis) | Action | Owner | Due | Verification |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCAR-2026-014 (Example) | Porosity on HSG-310 castings, 312 of the 386 rejects | Degassing step skipped on night shift after a staff change | Degassing added to the shift checklist with sign-off; operator retraining | Ostrelby quality manager | 2026-11-15 | PPM below 750 for two consecutive months |
| ACT-2026-031 (Example) | Late deliveries clustered in August | Machine outage during planned holiday period | Holiday capacity plan shared with Corvanna by end of May each year | Ostrelby operations | 2027-05-31 | OTIF at or above 95% in August 2027 |
| ACT-2026-032 (Example) | Scope 3 emissions data missing | No data collection from metal suppliers | Supply estimated Scope 3 category 1 data using spend-based factors | Ostrelby sustainability lead | 2027-03-31 | Data received and reviewed |
The SCAR is tracked in compliance/capa-nonconformity; the root cause
method is in business/root-cause-analysis.
5. Relationship plan
| Area | Plan for the next 12 months |
|---|---|
| Joint objectives | Example: Reduce HSG-310 cost 4% through a design change to wall thickness, keep OTIF at or above 95% |
| Governance | Example: Quarterly business review with operations directors, monthly quality call |
| Value creation | Example: Joint design-to-value workshop in Q1 2027 (see procurement/category-strategy) |
| Risk and continuity | Example: Second tooling set for HSG-220 held at Ostrelby's second site |
| Staying together | Example: Annual relationship survey both ways |
| Exit strategy | Example: Exit plan in contract file: 6-month tool transfer, last-time buy quantities |
6. Re-evaluation decision
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Decision | [Remain approved / Conditional / Exit review] Example: Remain approved, band B, SCAR open |
| New business allowed | [Yes / With approval / No] Example: Yes, except new cast parts until SCAR-2026-014 is verified |
| Decided by | Example: [@category-manager], [@quality-manager] |
| Date | Example: 2026-10-21 |
| Next review | Example: January 2027 |
