Strategic Performance Measurement of Suppliers at HTC

Strategic Performance Measurement of Suppliers at HTC (Individual | Due: 11/13/15)

This is an individual assignment. Please read and brief Strategic Performance Measurement of Suppliers at HTC. In your written analysis (which should be a minimum of 4 pages long, font style: time new roman, 1.15 space), help HTC assess the performance system the firm uses to select and monitor their suppliers.

Address the following questions in your memo:

1. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of HTC’s scorecard system used to monitor suppliers.

2. What should be done with suppliers with B grades? Should HTC work with suppliers to help them improve or to terminate the relationship?

3. What should HTC take into account to determine how to allocate future orders (above and beyond the scorecard)?

Use the five suppliers to support your answers. Thinking about the elements of a good performance system is a good place to start.
