If your company manufacture products and implement built-to-order business model, then effective supply chain management is a necessary core competence. Supply chain management is the integration of key business processes from end user through original suppliers that provides products, services, and information that add value for customers and other stakeholders. There are eight key processes that form the core of supply chain management, including:



  • customer relationship management,
  • customer service management,
  • demand management,
  • order fulfillment management,
  • manufacturing flow management,
  • supplier relationship management,
  • product development and commercialization, and
  • returns management.

When it comes to measuring overall supply chain performance, companies typically focus on benchmarking metrics, such as Delivery performance, fill rates, perfect order fulfillment, cash-to-cash cycle time, inventory turns, and many more.

  • Do your order fill rates meet management’s specific and measured customer service strategy?
  • Are your delivery lead times competitive and predictable?
  • Do all of your supply chain departments agree on which products are made-to-stock and which are made-to-order?
  • Do sales and manufacturing share equally in determining the mix and investment in inventory?
  • Are the appropriate calculations being used, rather than “rules of thumb,” to establish the desired mix and levels?
  • Are management’s inventory investment plan and customer service objectives being compared against the actual results that are achieved?
  • Are short-term forecast deviations being monitored and adjusted, and is long-term forecast accuracy continuously improving?
  • Is your inventory accuracy consistently above 98 percent?
  • Are you able to avoid carrying excess safety stock buffers?
  • Are your excess and obsolete inventories being measured, and are they less than 1 percent of total inventory?





If you answer “no” to any of the above questions, then you need to fix your supply chain problems right now.
