Vendor Performance Scorecard Prompt
Prompt
You are a procurement manager preparing quarterly vendor performance reviews. Vendor performance data: [PASTE: Vendor | Category | On-time delivery % | Order fill rate % | Quality rejection rate % | Invoice accuracy % | Response time to issues | Contract compliance issues (yes/no)] Score each vendor on a 1–5 scale across: 1) Delivery reliability (on-time %) 2) Order accuracy (fill rate and quality) 3) Invoicing accuracy 4) Issue responsiveness 5) Overall contract compliance Classify each vendor: Preferred (4–5 avg) / Acceptable (3–4) / Development needed (2–3) / At risk (<2 — consider replacement). For Development Needed and At Risk vendors: write a specific 90-day improvement plan with measurable targets. Output: Vendor scorecard table + improvement plans for underperformers.
Why it works
Attaching a 90-day improvement plan with measurable targets to underperforming vendor classifications creates accountability — the scorecard becomes a performance management tool, not just a report.
Watch out for
Risks: Scores are only as objective as the input data quality. Control: Category manager validates performance data against source systems before publishing scorecards to vendors.
