    Keep supplier, review period, delivery promise, actual receipt, quality observation, source and review decision together so the next person can understand the request or record.

  • When the next step needs a decision

    Supplier Cedar delivered two of three sample orders late. Keep each promised and actual date as evidence; the reviewer can request an improvement plan without treating three orders as a statistically reliable rating.

  • Keep review decision visible

    Keep each delayed order as evidence without treating a small sample as a definitive rating.
