Your charts are not just pictures; they are analytical tools. Use them to:
Identify Top & Bottom Performers
Visually group sellers into tiers (A, B, C) based on their chart position. Prioritize orders with high-tier sellers and create improvement plans for those lagging.
Spot Correlation
Does a high QC rate correlate with high on-time delivery? Your dual-axis chart can reveal this positive relationship, indicating overall professional sellers.
Track Progress Over Time
Update the spreadsheet monthly and refresh the chart. A line chart will show if a seller's reliability is improving or degrading, informing future contract decisions.
