Weight Criteria to Pick the Best Vendor

Not All Criteria Are Equal

Different situations call for different priorities. A hospital needs reliability over price. A startup might prioritize cost. Your job: set the weights to match the scenario, then pick the winning vendor.

🚚 Delivery
🛡️ Reliability

📊 How Scoring Works

Each vendor gets a weighted score: multiply each criterion score by its weight, then sum. Higher total = better vendor. Weights must add up to 100%.

📊 Vendor Scorecard Tips for Module 2

  • Module 2 shows vendor metrics: Quality rating, on-time %, and price per unit
  • Context matters: A 95% quality rating might be great for t-shirts but dangerous for medical supplies
  • Total Cost of Ownership: Low price + high defects = hidden costs (rejects, returns, rework)
  • Diversify risk: Don't put all your eggs in one vendor's basket
