Performance measurement in buyer-supplier collaboration programmes: Implementing the common scorecard

Authors
Barros, AC; Barbosa Povoa, A; Castro, A;

Publication
International Journal of Procurement Management

Abstract
Collaboration programmes for coordinated replenishment in buyer-supplier dyads have become popular among companies willing to increase market responsiveness, decrease safety stocks and increase control over the supply chain. In parallel, logistic performance measures have been identified as a crucial element for defining objectives, supervise improvements and managing effectively the supply chain. We explore the use of the common scorecard to share performance measurements between buyer and supplier in collaboration projects. The common scorecard works as a tool to facilitate the communication between partners and to share transparently partners' individual objectives in a structured and objective way. Its implementation and beneficial impact is shown in a case study of a vendor managed inventory operating in an environment of high demand volatility, long lead-time and customised products.

Abstract
Virtual Enterprise is one form of collaborative networks that allows partners to exploit emerging business opportunities in a flexible way. Moreover, in the competitive landscape of the twenty-first century, the business model innovation has become increasingly a key element for companies' positioning in the market. Consequently, this paper aims at proposing a set of business model elements to be used by a virtual enterprise in order to explore a new business opportunity for its network. Literature review is used to identify the business model elements and evidence from a pilot case study confirms that these elements are considered in practice.
