Practical guide
Does your supplier score hide the risk that matters?
A weighted average can look acceptable while one critical dimension remains weak. This German-language guide shows how to combine anchored answers, dimensions, non-compensation and escalation rules in a supplier assessment that teams can explain.

Start with the decision, not the spreadsheet
The guide separates initial classification from periodic performance review and shows which decision each assessment must support.
Keep weak dimensions visible
A worked example demonstrates why weighting alone may still hide a weak quality or delivery dimension and how non-compensation changes the final class.
Connect each class to action
Assessment results become useful when review depth, approval, conditions, corrective action and reassessment timing follow an agreed rule.
