A complete framework for building a paintball supplier scorecard across five evaluation dimensions: D1 Product Quality (30% weight, batch QC data, defect rate, batch-to-batch consistency), D2 Delivery Reliability (25%, on-time rate, lead time accuracy), D3 Communication (15%, response time, problem resolution), D4 Compliance (15%, MSDS accuracy, customs documentation), and D5 Value and Partnership (15%, pricing transparency, value-added support).
