To help, in this post, we provide you with some insights for the period of 2006-2015. The supply chain is a complex system with finite, and non-linear relationships between supply chain metrics that drive balance sheet results. We find that companies can improve one, but not two of the metrics. A Look at History. Resiliency.

As I explain in my book, The Power of Resilience: How the Best Companies Manage the Unexpected (MIT Press, October 2015), companies can improve their disruption detection capabilities in a number of ways. Companies can then prioritize their mitigation efforts based on parameters such as value-at-risk, customer importance, and field inventory.

In our work on the Supply Chains to Admire report , we tracked the progress of manufacturing, retailing and distribution companies for the period of 2006 to 2013 and 2009-2013. We then rated companies on their ability to manage and improve a portfolio of metrics: operating margin, inventory turns and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC).

Inventory Turns (15%) (based on 2014 results). Supply chain leaders manage a complex system of non-linear, but very inter-connected metrics. Leaders need to balance a portfolio of metrics. Year-over-year Improvement at the Intersections of the Metrics. A Three-year Weighted Return on Assets (ROA) Number (25%).

In the selection of time frames to analyze, we look at the long-term view including the recessionary period of 2006-2009, the post recessionary period of 2009-2014 and the more recent time period of 2011-2014. Overall Results on the Supply Chain Metrics That Matter. Supply chain leaders make progress in three-to-five years.

Note that neither company is making progress at the intersection of operating margin and inventory turns. The level of performance in 2015 is the same as 2006. Performance of BMS and Merck at the Intersection of Inventory Turns and Operating Margin. Performance and Improvement within the Pharmaceutical Industry for 2009-2015.

I am bolder on Samsung, simply because they had the highest 2016 Inventory Turns aside from McDonalds. They went from #34 in 2015 to #18 in 2016. Remember in 2015, Amazon’s ROA was 0.0%. This, my friends, is why we need to get back to CORE supply chain metrics when measuring the Top 25. 2011-2015 – Meg Whitman.
