Why the Supplier Performance Awards Matter

"The Supplier Performance Awards are about more than just recognition—they're about building trust, transparency, and stronger partnerships between manufacturers and suppliers. Reliable suppliers are the backbone of resilient supply chains, and it's time we shine a spotlight on their contributions. With this program, we're helping our customers make smarter, data-driven decisions about who they partner with to ensure sustained success."

An Industry Voice: Broader Supply Chain Impact

"These awards aren’t just about patting suppliers on the back—they’re about raising the bar for what supply chains can and should deliver. Accountability, transparency, and performance aren’t buzzwords—they’re what keep manufacturing running. Programs like this from Leverage AI aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re must-haves in today’s supply chain reality."

— Mark Cuban, Entrepreneur & Investor

How Supplier Performance is Measured

At the heart of the Supplier Performance Awards is the On-Time, In-Full (OTIF) metric—a gold standard for supplier reliability and delivery adherence.

How OTIF is Calculated:

• Commitment Date: OTIF is calculated based on the promise date committed to by the supplier when acknowledging a Purchase Order (PO) through Leverage AI.
• Delivery Accuracy: Performance is measured against the actual date and quantity delivered, evaluated according to incoterms (or similar contractual standards).

This data-driven methodology ensures transparency, fairness, and actionable insights for all participants.

Badges of Excellence: Recognizing Achievement

Award-winning suppliers will receive a digital badge of excellence that can be showcased across websites, marketing materials, and customer communications. These badges represent more than recognition—they symbolize trusted partnerships and measurable excellence in supplier performance.

Driving Strategic Supply Chain Resilience

The Supplier Performance Awards aren’t just about past success—they represent a strategic effort to strengthen U.S. supply chains by:

• Highlighting supplier excellence
• Promoting transparency and trust
• Empowering manufacturers to make data-driven decisions
