Action Plans – Feature Guide – Users (Buyers)

Action Plans is a new feature that lives in the Supplier Relationship Management module of SourceDogg,

the simple to use Supply chain management platform.

What Does Actions Plans Do?

The Action Plan feature enables:

  • Creating and sharing clear plans for success on-line
  • Regular check-in dates for suppliers to provide updates on their progress
  • Reviewing supplier updates with the ability to provide feedback
  • Close out completed improvement plans and share with all key stakeholders

Why Use Action Plans?

Like all features in the SRM module, they have been designed to help build stronger relationships between buying and supplying organisations.

Helping to digitally document plans and communication between two parties, with a view to improving performance in a collaborative way.

For example, some of our existing manufacturing customers use Action plans to manage an 8D problem-solving methodology.
