The assessment of purchasing & supply activities
Timeliness by noting the number of orders indicated as urgent & the number of operations interrupted by shortages
Cost saving by comparing costs with those of previous periods
Supplier performance by noting rejected orders, orders receive late
Workload by looking at the number of orders & requisitions
Price proficiency by comparing actual prices with planned or market prices
Purchasing costs by expressing administrative costs as a percentage of the monetary value of purchases.
