  • What metrics do you review weekly?
  • Any good templates for supplier scorecards?

Appreciate any real-world examples from this board.

Thanks for sharing — we faced something similar last quarter.

For payment terms, we never go 100% upfront with a new vendor.

Not sure about your HS code, but our broker used a different chapter heading.

Pilot orders really help before committing to a full container.

We also request carton drop tests and keep photos in our QMS folder.

Following this thread; our experience aligns with yours.

Happy to compare notes offline if you share your category.

We added a second inspector and the defect rate dropped noticeably.

Our QC checklist is based on AQL 2.5 with a tightened level for critical dimensions.

Tagging you here for visibility.
