Supplier evaluation inputs

01 Define the purchase

Use the same purchase requirements and rating expectations for every supplier. Required fields are marked *.

Your own minimum score; there is no built-in pass score.
Changing this scope clears existing ratings for reassessment. Evidence notes are retained.

02 Set criteria and weights

Start with the eight editable criteria below. Weights are relative and automatically normalized to 100%. A Required criterion needs a rating of at least 3 and a recorded buyer review, even at weight 0.

Review / edit criteria, expectations, and required checks

Use whole weights from 0 to 100; their sum can differ from 100. To exclude an irrelevant criterion, set weight 0 and uncheck Required for every supplier. Editing wording clears that criterion's ratings; removing it discards its assessments.

03 Assess each supplier

Use the same rating scale

Unknown = not assessed · 0 = does not meet · 1 = major gaps · 2 = partially meets · 3 = meets · 4 = exceeds · 5 = strongly exceeds the defined expectation.

“Buyer review recorded” needs an evidence reference and review date. A supplier claim alone stays unconfirmed. The tool does not verify the evidence.

Review the starting criteria, then add assessments or load the clearly labeled worked example.

Scoring method and assumptions

Weighted points /100 = sum(weight × rating ÷ 5) ÷ total weight × 100. Unknown ratings contribute no earned points; their weight stays in the denominator. The possible range gives those unknowns ratings from 0 to 5, not a prediction.

Rating coverage = rated weight ÷ total weight. Recorded evidence coverage = weight with “Buyer review recorded,” a reference, and a review date on or before the evaluation date ÷ total weight.

Ranking requires ratings and recorded evidence for every positive-weight or Required criterion, all Required ratings at least 3, and your target score if set. A zero-weight Required criterion still acts as a required check. A zero-weight criterion with Required unchecked is excluded for all suppliers.

Weights and expectations are buyer-defined starting points. Apply the same criteria, scope, rating anchors, and review standard to each supplier. Percentages show one decimal place; ranking and target checks use unrounded integer weighted points.

Scores summarize your judgments and evidence records. They do not verify supplier identity, validate certificates, guarantee performance, or select a supplier for you. Export the report before leaving; this plugin does not save your entries.
