OEE software RFPs fail when they copy generic software procurement templates rather than specifying manufacturing requirements. A checklist asking whether the vendor has mobile access and reporting will return five vendors that all check every box — and give you no basis for differentiation.

Calculate total weighted scores and build a shortlist of three vendors for demo evaluation. The RFP score should inform but not determine final selection — implementation quality, vendor responsiveness, and product roadmap alignment often matter more than feature score differences at the margin.
Always include total first-year cost (licensing + implementation) as a separately scored dimension alongside functional requirements.
