Vendor Onboarding and Capability Development Framework to Strengthen Emerging Market Supply Chain Performance and Compliance

Olakunle Babatunde Alao Geraldine Chika Nwokocha Opeyemi Morenike Filani

Subject area: Management and Commerce  ·  Area of research: Supply Chain Management

Abstract

Emerging markets present both significant growth opportunities and heightened operational risks for global and regional supply chains. In these contexts, the performance and compliance of supply chains are heavily influenced by the effectiveness of vendor onboarding and the depth of supplier capability development. This paper proposes an integrated Vendor Onboarding and Capability Development Framework (VOCDF) designed to address key challenges such as regulatory complexity, inconsistent quality standards, fragmented logistics networks, and limited supplier readiness. The framework incorporates structured prequalification protocols, capacity-building interventions, and continuous performance monitoring aligned with compliance requirements. Drawing on empirical research, industry case studies, and field-based insights, the study outlines best practices that blend global compliance norms with the realities of emerging market operations. By applying the VOCDF, organizations can mitigate compliance risks, enhance operational resilience, and enable long-term vendor performance improvement. The paper?s findings demonstrate that robust onboarding processes combined with targeted capability-building interventions lead to measurable gains in delivery reliability, defect reduction, and adherence to regulatory standards, ultimately reinforcing supply chain competitiveness in high-growth but high-risk markets.

      abstract = {Emerging markets present both significant growth opportunities and heightened operational risks for global and regional supply chains. In these contexts, the performance and compliance of supply chains are heavily influenced by the effectiveness of vendor onboarding and the depth of supplier capability development. This paper proposes an integrated Vendor Onboarding and Capability Development Framework (VOCDF) designed to address key challenges such as regulatory complexity, inconsistent quality standards, fragmented logistics networks, and limited supplier readiness. The framework incorporates structured prequalification protocols, capacity-building interventions, and continuous performance monitoring aligned with compliance requirements. Drawing on empirical research, industry case studies, and field-based insights, the study outlines best practices that blend global compliance norms with the realities of emerging market operations. By applying the VOCDF, organizations can mitigate compliance risks, enhance operational resilience, and enable long-term vendor performance improvement. The paper?s findings demonstrate that robust onboarding processes combined with targeted capability-building interventions lead to measurable gains in delivery reliability, defect reduction, and adherence to regulatory standards, ultimately reinforcing supply chain competitiveness in high-growth but high-risk markets.},
