The score shows performance.
The context shows priority.
Category, spend, trend, exposure and criticality add context to the assessment. The lowest score is not automatically the largest business risk.

Higher score. Yet dependency and business relevance call for more attention.
Exposure values are independent illustrative assumptions, not derived from scores or spend. They are not loss forecasts.
SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE TIMELINE
A single period
does not tell
the whole story.
Compare assessment periods to distinguish deterioration, temporary deviations and sustained progress.
After an action, the next score is only part of the picture. Implementation, assessment scope and other changes also need review.
Performance history and the next assessmentSUPPLIER PERFORMANCE TIMELINEGo beyond assessment.

Supplier B · four assessment periods
Q3 → Action agreedStabilize the delivery schedule. Review progress and implementation together in Q4.
Timeline values and interpretation
| Period | Score / 100 | Change from previous period |
|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 82 | – |
| Q2 | 74 | −8 |
| Q3 | 60 | −14 |
| Q4 | 66 | +6 |
The increase alone does not prove the action's impact. Assessment scope, implementation and other influencing factors must also be reviewed.
MAKE RELEVANT CHANGES VISIBLE
Turn data into signals
that warrant attention.
Automatic alerts are rule-based. They prompt a review; they are not predictions. Assessment data and assumptions remain the basis for management decisions.
Performance & trend
Identify falling scores and recurring weaknesses. Use consistent periods and assessment criteria when making comparisons.
Supply Chain Stability
Consider delivery performance, critical dependencies and segmentation together. Stability requires more than a good average.
Supplier Performance Impact
Connect changes in performance with operational consequences and business relevance. A decline involving high dependency needs a different level of attention.
