Overview

Why this workflow matters

Traditional supplier scorecards arrive quarterly in a spreadsheet. By the time a procurement team reviews a poor score, the damage is already done. Proconomy's Supplier Quality Scorecard calculates a live composite score for every supplier — updated continuously as SCARs are issued, APQP gates are reviewed, SLAs are met or missed, and IMDS submissions are accepted. An A–F grade gives procurement teams an instant signal, while the 5-KPI breakdown shows exactly which dimension needs attention.

Key Capabilities

  • Live composite score updated from every SCAR, APQP, and IMDS event
  • 5-KPI breakdown: SCAR rate, closure rate, SLA adherence, APQP gates, IMDS
  • A–F grading with configurable thresholds
  • Worst-first scorecard list with at-risk and critical filters
  • Automatic worklist items for Grade D and F suppliers
  • 3-month SCAR trend visible on every supplier 360 page
Process Flow

Step-by-step: how it works

Every step is designed to eliminate manual effort, reduce errors, and give your team real-time visibility at every stage of the process.

📡01

Continuous KPI Collection

All 5 KPIs calculated automatically from live data: SCAR rate from SCAR records, closure rate from 8D completions, SLA adherence from D3/full SCAR deadlines, APQP gate pass rate from gate decisions, IMDS compliance from FMD submission status.

Continuous (automated)

What happens

  • SCAR rate: number of SCARs issued / deliveries in the period
  • SCAR closure rate: SCARs closed at D8 / total SCARs issued
  • SLA adherence: D3 and full closure deadlines met / total SLA deadlines
  • APQP gate pass rate: gates approved on first submission / total gate reviews
  • IMDS compliance: parts with accepted FMD submissions / total parts on AML

Roles involved

🤖AI Action

All KPI data collected passively from SCAR, APQP, and IMDS workflow activity — no manual data entry required.

🧮02

Composite Score Calculation

Weighted composite score: SCAR Rate 30%, SCAR Closure Rate 25%, SLA Adherence 20%, APQP Gate Pass Rate 15%, IMDS Compliance 10%. Score 0–100, grade A (≥90) through F (<45).

Automated (real-time)

What happens

  • Composite score: SCAR Rate 30% + Closure Rate 25% + SLA Adherence 20% + APQP 15% + IMDS 10%
  • Grade A: ≥90 | Grade B: 75–89 | Grade C: 60–74 | Grade D: 45–59 | Grade F: <45
  • Configurable weights — admin can adjust weighting per organisation
  • Score updated in real time as each qualifying event is recorded

Scorecard Review & Worklist

Suppliers with Grade D or F automatically appear on the SQE worklist. The Scorecards list page shows all suppliers ranked worst-first with filters for at-risk (below 75) and critical (below 60).

Ongoing review

What happens

  • Grade D and F suppliers auto-appear on SQE worklist as quality risk items
  • Scorecard list page: all suppliers ranked by composite score ascending
  • Filters: At Risk (score < 75), Critical (score < 60)
  • Drill-down to 5 KPI bars and 3-month SCAR trend per supplier

What your organisation gains

These are not theoretical benefits — they are outcomes that procurement teams experience within the first quarter of deploying this workflow on Proconomy.

🔭
Continuous
Early Risk Detection

A live grade updated from every SCAR, gate review, and IMDS submission means quality deterioration is visible weeks before it becomes a production or audit issue.

📊
5-KPI breakdown
Data-Driven Development

The 5-KPI breakdown shows exactly which dimension is dragging a supplier's grade — enabling targeted improvement conversations rather than vague "improve quality" requests.

🎯
Worst-first queue
SQE Focus

The SQE worklist surfaces Grade D and F suppliers automatically — ensuring limited SQE capacity is always directed at the highest-risk part of the supply base.

🤝
Portal visible
Supplier Accountability

Suppliers can see their own scorecard via the portal — creating transparency and giving them the data to drive their own improvement without waiting for quarterly reviews.
