Supplier Scorecard: How to Compare Cookware Factories Objectively
Gut feel picks the cheapest quote. A scorecard picks the best partner. Here is a weighted framework.
The criteria (100 points)
- Capability (25): product-specific experience, in-house processes, capacity headroom
- Quality (25): QC documentation, sample results, defect history
- Commercial (20): pricing, MOQ flexibility, payment terms
- Reliability (15): references, years in business, export history
- Communication (15): response speed, English clarity, transparency
How to use it
Score each factory 1-5 per criterion during evaluation (not after - memory lies). Weight, total, and let the numbers challenge your instincts. Re-score annually for active suppliers.
