    Hi,

    My company has recently decided to install a vendor management software to help with the process in the department. We wee facing quite a lot of issues regarding productivity and quality of service delivered. We as a company believe that quality is more important than the quantity of products we deliver.

    Vendor management was a pain point for our department as there were a lot of vendors and suppliers with whom we dealt with monthly, but could not keep it well documented. This is when we decided to go with a software that could help us keep a proper record of vendors.

    It has indeed saved us a lot of time and energy enabling our team to focus more on the quality part. We mainly deal with farm products and is planning to create a quality check list. Could you suggest some important points to be taken care of and a decent quality measurement technique for us to start with? We are a small sized organization.

    Welcome Lisa!

    What is the checklist to be used for? I'm guessing you mean for incoming inspections, since you are talking about vendors and vendor management. As an ex-supply chain manager, this can be a complex topic. For anyone here to be able to answer your questions with clarity, we'd need to know a lot more about your needs - otherwise we'd be "assuming" and you know what THAT means...
