Supplier escalation with evidence.

Turn a difficult supplier conversation into a data conversation: the facts to prepare, how to run it, how to follow through.

WERISCO editorial4 August 20265 min

Prepare the facts

  • OTIF over 13 weeks, by week.
  • Lead time: quoted vs actual distribution.
  • Cost to you: expedites, line stops, penalties passed on.

Structure the conversation

  • Share the data first; ask for their view.
  • Agree root cause and a corrective plan with dates.
  • Agree how progress will be measured.

Follow through

  • Review weekly until the trend recovers.
  • Adjust buffers until performance is proven.
Run the Risk, every week.

One supply-chain shock, decoded in numbers, and what a data-driven plant does about it.
