How to use it
A short, reviewable workflow
- 01
Set criterion weights totaling exactly 100%.
- 02
Score at least two suppliers from 1 (weak) to 5 (strong).
- 03
Review the ranking alongside evidence and escalation thresholds.
Useful for
Common use cases
- Quarterly business reviews
- Supplier development prioritization
- Structured sourcing discussions
Important boundary
What this result cannot decide
Set non-negotiable compliance, safety, quality, and continuity gates outside the weighted score; never let a high average override a failed mandatory requirement.
Model notes
Assumptions and limitations
Assumptions
- Every criterion uses the same 1–5 direction, where higher is better.
- Weights reflect current business priorities.
- Scores are supported by comparable evidence.
Limitations
- Subjective scoring can encode bias.
- A weighted average can hide a critical failure.
- This does not verify evidence or supplier claims.
Questions
Frequently asked
Why must weights total 100%?
It makes the contribution of each criterion explicit and the final score easy to audit.
Can a top score automatically approve a supplier?
No. Use it as decision support alongside due diligence, mandatory gates, and documented evidence.
