TQRDCE Performance Expectations and Review

This is an example that implemnt TRQDCE form for vendor survey.

TQRDCE Introduction:

The strategy of company for establishing and maintaining long-term working relationships is through creating and monitoring mutual performance expect ions and measurements. Performance metrics, constructive feedback, as well as prompt corrective action by the supplier and by customer are fundamental to achieving continuous process improvement.

In order to provide customer with the means to measure our suppliers, the TQRDCE (Technology, Quality, Responsiveness, Delivery, Cost, and Environmental) review was developed. It is imperative that supplier maintain a competitive advantage by providing materials of the highest quality and lowest total cost, with the best delivery, responsiveness and technology available. The TQRDCE Review is a tool for measuring and communicating a supplier’s performance and to aid company in determining their place in future business relationships.

This review is being provided two weeks in advance of our scheduled meeting with [SUPPLIER] on [DATE] at [LOCATION]. it should be shared with the appropriate personnel at [SUPPLIER] with a focus on the development objectives. it is company’s expectation that [SUPPLIER] come to the review with a written action plan that addresses all the development objectives listed on the review.

This action plan, which should identify specific actionable plans with owners and due dates, will serve as the focus for the majority of discussions on [DATE]. Progress against these plans will be reviewed on a regular basis (quarterly at a minimum) – towards the continuous improvements in TQRDCE criteria. [SUPPLIER] is also encouraged to add items of feedback for customer that could enable [SUPPLIER]’s ability to respond.
