Metrics

Metrics are criteria used to measure supplier performance on supplier scorecards. Metrics provide a library of standard factors that can be used to evaluate and compare multiple suppliers.

Example Example

For example, these factors might include timely delivery, quality attributes, or price performance.

End of the example.

After you define standard metrics, you can add them to a supplier scorecard definition. To calculate supplier scores using standard metrics, you can use the Metric Entry option to enter raw data and automatically assign a scorecard definition to a supplier. You can also enter scores for metrics directly in a supplier scorecard.

Metrics are custom optional data.

This section describes how to create a standard metric.

Note Note

As well as from the Administration page, you can access the Metric Master List page by choosing Supplier Management in the navigation bar and then choosing Metric Entry from the Performance submenu.
