Sagrad’s Supplier Performance Rating System (SPRS) is a composite score of a supplier’s performance, comprising a Quality Rating (QR), a Delivery Rating (DR) and a Business Management Rating (BMR). All suppliers receive a score card indicating their overall composite score/classification. A determination on the frequency (quarterly or annually) of supplier performance ratings is based on assessment of both business and technical risk.
