Pro Tips for Effective Analysis
Time-Based Filtering
Combine seller filters with date range restrictions to analyze:
- Recent Performance: Last 30-90 days for current reliability
- Quarterly Trends: Identify improving or declining suppliers
- Year-over-Year: Assess long-term consistency
Product Category Segmentation
A seller might excel in one product category while struggling in another. Use the product type filter in conjunction with seller selection for granular analysis.
Set Performance Benchmarks
Establish minimum acceptable pass rates (e.g., 95% for critical components) and use conditional formatting to highlight sellers falling below your standards.
Key Benefits of Systematic Seller Analysis
Data-Driven Sourcing Decisions
Move beyond subjective assessments to objective, quantifiable supplier evaluations.
Quality Consistency
Identify suppliers who deliver consistent quality over time, reducing inspection costs.
Risk Mitigation
Spot declining performance early and diversify your supplier base before quality issues affect your customers.
Negotiation leverage
Use performance data to negotiate better terms with underperforming suppliers or reward high-performing partners.
The OrientDig Spreadsheet transforms raw QC data into actionable supplier intelligence. By regularly tracking and comparing seller QC pass rates, you can build a more reliable, high-performing supply chain that supports your business growth and quality standards.
