Cedar Suppliers — Cost and Quality

Cedar's procurement team compares unit cost against incoming quality across four suppliers. Aster has the highest quality score but is not the least expensive. Birch offers a lower cost with solid quality, while Delta needs attention because its quality score is lower. The chart helps the team frame a price-quality trade-off before reviewing capacity, lead time and contractual risk. It should not be used as a sole supplier scorecard: key measures such as delivery reliability belong in the accompanying review. Equal bubbles keep this example focused on the two explicit axes and readable at card size.
