Metrics Identification and Dashboard Creation and SCOR Application
Given the impact of supply chain expenses on company profitability, identifying and tracking supply chain activities is critical to achieving optimal transparency and business performance. In addition, quantifying the value generated by the supply chain requires comprehensive performance measures, which in turn must be based upon sound cost data. SCE helps clients achieve these kinds of visibility and measurement, identifying the processes and strategies that will drive the reporting of metrics at both the business unit and corporate level.
Additionally, hundreds of public and private entities use the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model to measure and monitor supply chain performance and to direct continuous improvement. SCOR establishes linkages between the Plan (demand planning, supply planning, and demand/supply balance), Source (commodity and process management and supplier development and management), Make (manufacturing strategy, production scheduling, material management, and manufacturing process control), and Deliver (order entry and scheduling, warehousing, transportation, delivery, invoicing and cash collection) supply chain processes. Supply Chain Edge helps companies assess the potential application of SCOR to all of their regions, business units and global operations. And when an organization moves forward with a SCOR implementation, SCE guides the implementation by mapping SCOR processes to the organization, determining which performance measures are most critical to the entity, and establishing how those measures will be tracked and refined.
