What is supplier satisfaction?
In the past, supplier satisfaction was not a major topic in purchasing and industrial management, for practitioners or academics. Yet managing buyer-supplier relationships well is difficult without considering how satisfied your suppliers are.
Supplier satisfaction is a supplier's sense of fairness about the buyer's incentives and the supplier's own contributions within an industrial buyer-seller relationship. Because it is a complex idea, it is measured as an index, with the factors that drive it measured through a survey.
