January Meeting


Assessing Supplier Performance – How to Make the Process Practical, Timely & Relevant

Speaker: Ray Barger

A key Supplier Balanced Scorecard is only one tool for assessing supplier performance - Is your scorecard effective? Are you using other assessment tools? Balanced scorecards are trailing indicators reporting past, tactical performance. It’s equally important to use practical forward-looking, strategic tools for assessing supplier alignment with internal customer requirements. Assessment is the start of continuous improvement with key suppliers. Discussing the assessment and taking action to improve performance and strategic alignment in a measurable way are the next steps.

Come join the Speaker to learn how ViaSat, Inc. assesses key suppliers practically, tactically and strategically as part of a continuous improvement and review process.

Participants will learn:

  • The Concept: How to develop and use multiple practical, timely and relevant supplier assessment tools in a continuous improvement process

  • A framework for successful implementation into your own business

NAPM-San Diego's dinner meetings are held the second Tuesday of every month. Locations vary to accommodate the diverse locations of our members, so be sure to scroll down to read about our current meeting or check the future schedule for meetings to come. Remember that you do not have to be a member to come and join us!

General Information

Reservations are required.....kindly reserve your seat online or by phone, fax or mail.

The following details apply to all members and non-members planning to attend one of our meetings:

  • Price: With reservations $28 for members $35.00 for non-members
    At the door $35.00
  • Cancellations: Any member/non member who fails to attend after having made a reservation, and has not cancelled by 4:00 PM on the Friday prior to the dinner meeting, will be invoiced $30.00 for the cost of the dinner.

    Due to the fact that NAPM-SD has to pay the full price of each guaranteed dinner (we give a count on Friday), it has become necessary to charge the full price to the member/non member that fails to attend after making a reservation. It is not fair to the general membership to subsidize costs of dinners.

  • Non-Sufficient Funds fee: There will be a $20 fee for any check that is returned for non-sufficient funds.
