How to Use the OrientDig Spreadsheet for Seller Reliability Analysis
Finding consistent and reliable suppliers is crucial for successful sourcing. OrientDig's powerful spreadsheet tool provides a systematic way to track and compare Quality Control (QC) pass rates across your seller network, helping you make data-driven decisions for your supply chain.
Getting Started with OrientDig's Seller Analysis Spreadsheet
The OrientDig spreadsheet aggregates QC data from multiple inspections into an easy-to-analyze format. To begin your analysis:
- Access your consolidated seller data through the OrientDig dashboard
- Export the complete inspection history to the analysis spreadsheet
- Familiarize yourself with the data columns: Seller Name, Inspection Date, Product Category, QC Result, and Pass Rate Percentage
Using Filters to Compare Seller Performance
1. Time Period Filtering
Use the date range filters to compare seller performance over specific periods. This helps identify whether a seller's quality is improving, declining, or remaining consistent over time.
2. Product Category Filters
Apply category filters to compare sellers who supply similar products. A seller might excel in electronics but perform poorly in textiles, making category-specific analysis essential.
3. Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) Tier Filters
Filter by order size to understand if quality consistency changes at different production volumes. Some sellers maintain quality better with smaller batches.
Analyzing Pass Rate Trends
Look beyond simple pass/fail percentages to identify meaningful patterns:
- Consistency Metrics:
- Trend Analysis:
- Major Defect Analysis:
- Trend Analysis:
Identifying Your Most Reliable Sellers
When comparing sellers, prioritize those who demonstrate:
- Consistent pass rates above your quality threshold (typically 95%+)
- Minimal performance fluctuations across multiple inspection periods
- Improving or stable trend lines in quarterly comparisons
- Low rates of critical defects across multiple orders
Taking Action Based on Your Analysis
Use your findings to optimize your supplier strategy:
- Reward Consistency:
- Targeted Improvement:
- Strategic Sourcing:
- Targeted Improvement:
The OrientDig spreadsheet transforms raw inspection data into actionable supplier intelligence. By regularly monitoring these metrics and applying strategic filters, you can build a more reliable, quality-focused supply chain that reduces risks and improves product outcomes.
