Current State vs Future State Comparison

Current State

(Traditional)
  1. Define supplier performance metrics based on business objectives.
  2. Collect data from various sources (e.g., ERP systems, supplier feedback, performance reports).
  3. Input data into a centralized scorecard system (often Excel or specialized software).
  4. Analyze data to assess supplier performance against defined metrics.
  5. Generate real-time reports and dashboards for stakeholders.
  6. Conduct regular review meetings with suppliers to discuss performance and areas for improvement.
  7. Implement corrective actions and monitor progress.
  8. Update scorecards and metrics based on feedback and changing business needs.

Characteristics
