Tips to improve your goal:

Make sure you have stated how the goal should be accomplished. Use specific strategies or tactics.
For example: "performing an audit and negotiating new supply rates"= how

Give your goal a reason to be finished in the first place. Answer why the goal should be reached.
For example: "to keep this product line profitable" = why

Your smart goal needs to include a measurement, when or how you consider the job well done.
For example: "whether or not the team has been able to decrease the product A production cost by 10% by 1st of July"

Make sure your team possess necessary knowledge, skills to achieve the goal. If you don’t have the appropriate resources now, consider postponing the goal or making it more realistic.

Don’t tilt at windmills. For example, if the company has taken a more eco-friendly approach, accepting higher production costs, don’t try swim the other direction. Make sure your goal doesn't step into conflict with the overall mission.

Each goal should be aligned with other goals. Use a technique called OKR, Objectives and Key Results, to make sure objectives are aligned.
