It’s no secret … delivered product quality is one the most critical metrics on every supplier scorecard. Your quality performance as a supplier directly impacts your risk rating and in turn contract awards. Many customers rate suppliers as low-, medium-, and high-risk. They phase out high-risk suppliers, monitor and selectively award contracts to medium risk vendors, and preferentially award contracts to low-risk, "preferred suppliers."
