Supplier Feedback Loop : Solicit feedback from facility teams regarding vendor performance (delivery speed, product quality) to maintain an accurate, reliable preferred-vendor network. Metrics, Analytics & Financial Reporting Savings Tracking: Develop and maintain procurement KPIs to track realized savings, differentiating between Hard Savings and Cost Avoidance. Visibility for RDOs & Controller: Provide regular, clear financial dashboards to the Controller and RDOs, demonstrating how collaborative purchasing directly improves facility-level profitability.
