Define scorecard measures
Supplier Performance Scorecards focuses on supplier scorecards, lead time, quote quality, delivery reliability, and supplier risk. In AWRA, procurement work is strongest when the need, supplier decision, approval, purchase order, receiving evidence, and payment context remain connected.
The practical goal is to buy with discipline. Users should know who requested the purchase, why it is needed, which supplier path is being used, and what evidence will make the decision defensible later.
In practice, a supplier with low prices but repeated late deliveries receives a lower reliability score before the next award.
Scorecard loop
Collect signals

Review

Procurement model
- Procurement records should preserve source need and decision context.
- Approvals, RFQs, quotations, POs, and receipts each answer a different control question.
- Supplier and item data quality affect every downstream procurement report.
- Evidence makes buying decisions reviewable instead of personal.
