Every line delivered late and every activated line left unanswered leaves a data point. Activa brings them together in a score per supplier, freezes it at the close of each cycle and shows the supplier what they need to improve. Top, Middle and Low performers under a uniform criterion that does not change because others fail more.
Without measurement, the reliable supplier is the one the buyer remembers fondly, and the one who never answers keeps receiving orders because nobody looks at them. Feedback, when it exists, is a complaint in an email. And when it is time to award, the compliance history is not on the table.
The lines delivered after the promised date, weighted by how late they were. The receipt date comes from your ERP, in a weekly file.
The activated lines the supplier left unanswered, over the closed cycles of a rolling window. The cycle in progress does not count until it closes.
What the supplier did in a cycle is recorded as it stood when the cycle closed; recalculating it later would show today's status, not that one.
A supplier is Top because they delivered, not because the others delivered less. The position in the list is what is relative; the category is not.
In their portal, every supplier sees their category, their delivery performance against the group average, their response rate against the average and the action requested of them. Once a month they receive their ranking update by email. They know where they stand and what moves it, before a buyer has to tell them.
An order in the hands of a Low performer is activated the same, but looked at first.
In critical stock alerts, a replenishment handled by a Low performer weighs one notch worse.
Compliance and response history, per supplier, objective and comparable, on the table when the decision is made.
The distribution matters less than the movement: the ranking exists so that the Lows move up.
The response half comes from the activation: Activa has it from the first cycle. The delivery half needs the receipts from your ERP, promised date against receipt date per line, in a weekly file. If your ERP cannot provide them at first, the ranking starts with the response half and says so; it does not fill in the other half.
