A system, method and interface for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain. The system, method and interface facilitate the collation of information in a supplier database. The system, method and interface facilitate the evaluation of a base of suppliers forming a supply base of a supply chain. The evaluation includes providing a database of information relating to supplier performance and capabilities based on historical performance. The supply base evaluation system, method and interface can be used to qualify and disqualify suppliers, and to improve supplier performance and capabilities. Objective feedback may be provided to suppliers, the feedback including metrics captured and tracked by the system. Development plans may be implemented to improve the manner in which suppliers do business throughout the supply chain.

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain performing steps comprising:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain, comprising:
A system for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain comprising:
A method comprising:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain performing steps comprising:
133 A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain, comprising:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain, as recited in claim 133, further comprising a module/component producing an evaluation score for the at least one supplier.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain as recited in claim 133, wherein said at least one performance indicator comprises at least one of:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain as recited in claim 133, further comprising a module/component producing an evaluation score for said at least one supplier based on said inputted data.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain as recited in claim 133, further comprising a module/component comparing said performance indicators for multiple suppliers.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain as recited in claim 133, further comprising a module/component providing for input of anecdotal information.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain as recited in claim 133, further comprising a module/component linking said evaluation score to a product type.
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain as recited in claim 133, further comprising a module/component ranking multiple ones of said suppliers by said evaluation scores.
A method comprising:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain performing steps comprising:
A computer-readable medium having computer-executable modules/components for evaluating the supply base of a supply chain, comprising:
