Targets for the Quarter:

1. Quality Assurance Target:
   • Achieve a 100% quality pass rate for all print projects.
     • This target means that every print order should be free from defects, such as:
       • Misprints, color discrepancies, or incorrect specifications.
       • Physical defects such as smudging, incorrect folding, or poor paper quality.
   • No reprints or returns should be necessary, ensuring that all projects are completed right the first time.
   • To ensure this, all print orders will undergo a detailed quality check at both the vendor’s and SayPro’s end.
   • Metrics: Track the percentage of printed materials that pass quality checks on the first attempt and ensure continuous improvement in this area.
2. On-Time Delivery:
   • Ensure that all materials are delivered according to the agreed timeline, with no delays.
   • Target: Achieve a 100% on-time delivery rate for all print materials, ensuring that no marketing campaigns or events are delayed due to printing issues.
   • Mitigation Plan: Implement a contingency plan in case of delays, including working with multiple suppliers or adjusting timelines as necessary.
3. Cost Control Target:
   • Maintain adherence to the quarterly printing budget by keeping total costs within the allocated amount.
   • Target: Ensure that printing expenses do not exceed the agreed budget by more than 5%. Track cost per unit, compare with previous projects, and identify opportunities for cost-saving without sacrificing quality.
4. Inventory Management Target:
   • Maintain accurate stock levels to ensure materials are available when needed.
   • Target: Prevent overstocking or stockouts by monitoring inventory on a weekly basis.
   • Goal: Ensure a 95% accuracy rate in inventory management, minimizing waste and optimizing reorders.
5. Vendor Performance Review:
   • Monitor and evaluate supplier performance based on the quality of printed materials, timeliness of delivery, and pricing competitiveness.
   • Target: Ensure that all approved vendors maintain a performance rating of 90% or higher on key metrics (quality, delivery time, cost).
   • Vendor Feedback: Gather feedback from internal teams (e.g., marketing and design) to assess satisfaction with each supplier.
6. Client/Stakeholder Satisfaction:
   • Gather feedback from the marketing, design, and event teams to ensure printed materials meet expectations and help achieve campaign goals.
   • Target: Achieve a 100% satisfaction rate from internal stakeholders on the printed materials’ quality, design adherence, and functionality in their respective campaigns or events.
