Lack of insight renders adverse outcomes

Basing million dollar decisions primarily on the annual review of a Supplier is fraught with risk. Companies that focus only on the basic supply chain measurement of cost to evaluate Suppliers fail to take into account the non-financial aspects such as:

• Customer satisfaction
• Product quality
• Supplier flexibility
• Inventory turnover
• Responsiveness
