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.
