C&R accepts the 2012 Gold Tier Supplier Award from Script Pro. This is our 9th gold award from this customer. This award is based on a cumulative score measuring quality, delivery, and price, in that order with Quality receiving the highest score.

Script Pro, a Mission, KS manufacturer of robotic prescription dispensing equipment, has a unique way to measure the effectiveness of their suppliers. The program, called the “Vendor Certification Program,” is based on three categories in which each supplier is measured every month.

The categories are Quality, On-time Delivery and Price. They are weighted at different percentages to develop a total cost of procurement. Quality is the most important factor in ScriptPro’s evaluation and makes up 50% of the supplier’s overall score. Second is Ontime Delivery, which accounts for 30% of the overall score. Last in the equation is Price, which is factored in at 20% of the total score.

Mike Coughlin, President and CEO of ScriptPro says, “While price is an important part of a product, it’s far from the most important. Anyone can cut corners to reduce cost, but a well-built product that is there when you need it is what separates outstanding suppliers from ordinary suppliers, and C & R has excelled in all categories.”
