Tiger Team Engineering

Score supplier risk in minutes with a field-ready Excel tool built for the defense supply chain. Five weighted categories. Four tiers. One 0–100 risk score — and a clear action for every supplier on your list.

What is SAFE

One form. One score.
A clear path forward.

SAFE is a structured field evaluation tool built for supply chain engineers and buyer teams conducting on-site supplier visits. Walk through the assessment, enter what you observe, and SAFE outputs a weighted risk score with a classification that drives your next action — no interpretation required.

Built by Tiger Team Engineering — the same team that has restored delivery performance across 100+ supplier networks supporting Boeing, L3Harris, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman programs.

Scoring Engine

Five categories.
One score that tells the truth.

Every supplier is evaluated across five weighted domains. No guesswork. The score reflects field reality — not a checklist.

30%
Delivery Performance
On-time delivery rate, schedule adherence, and delinquency history against program commitments.
30%
Quality Performance
Nonconformance rate, first-pass yield, customer escapes, and corrective action responsiveness.
20%
Capacity & Rate Readiness
Production capacity, workforce stability, equipment availability, and ability to support demand changes.
10%
Compliance & Certification
AS9100, DFARS, ITAR, FAR alignment, and regulatory standing. Are they current and audit-ready?
10%
Management & Responsiveness
Communication quality, root cause discipline, escalation responsiveness, and leadership engagement.
100%
Weighted Total
Higher score = greater risk.
Zero blank fields, zero blind spots.
