Healthcare – Supplier Quality Dashboard

What is a Supplier Quality Dashboard? Supplier Quality Dashboards are considered operational monitoring tools and are used by Purchasing Managers at healthcare organizations to analyze satisfaction with equipment and other materials provided by suppliers. Some of the main functionality in this type of dashboard is that it provides analysis from these six perspectives: 1) Top five suppliers with the least complaints, 2) Bottom five suppliers with the most complaints, 3) Defects by product, 4) Defects and late deliveries - monthly trend, 5) Supplier ranked by amounts spent on purchases, and 6) Complaints by category. You find an example of this type of dashboard below.

Purpose of Supplier Quality Dashboards Healthcare organizations use Supplier Quality Dashboards to continuously look for ways to improve quality, both through feedback to suppliers and by replacing low performers. When used as part of good business practices in quality assurance teams and by purchasing departments, an organization can improve its patient and employee satisfaction with products they use, and it can reduce the chances that the organization overspends in relationship to quality received. 

Who Uses This Type of Dashboard? The typical users of this type of dashboard are: CFOs, purchasing managers, chief nurses. Other Reports Often Used in Conjunction with Supplier Quality Dashboards Progressive Quality assurance teams and purchasing departments sometimes use several different Supplier Quality Dashboards, along with Accounts payables reports, purchase order reports, supplier scorecards and other management and control tools.
