Planner A good supply chain software solution must first identify such cases where the semi-automatic (human involvement) approach is recommended, then be able to quantify the appropriate metric, which solution path is better, and finally notify the right individual to intervene quickly enough to make a difference. Software solutions like Kinaxis RapidResponse can provide the filtering, scorecard metrics, and alerting needed to guide the planner to make the right decisions.

We selected these metrics based on correlation work with Arizona State University in 2012. The winners drove long-term value (measured by market capitalization) while outperforming on the portfolio of metrics shown in Figure 1 and driving improvement faster than their peer groups. The companies I work with struggle to set metrics targets. I watch the news channels on mute. The reason? I hate political pundit debates.

The relationship between corporate financial performance and supply chain metrics was complex; and in my first attempts, I was unable to derive a correlation. As I wrote about this concept, and worked with Abby Mayer ( @indexgirl ) to write the Supply Chain Metrics that Matter series of reports, I discovered more on the depth of the complexity. I wanted to better understand which metrics truly mattered. The Metrics That Matter Are Different by Industry Sector.

As a result, the metrics have to be viewed together as a pattern over time. In the journey, the supply chain leader needs to improve the potential of a portfolio of metrics. The metrics of growth, Return on Invested Capital, Inventory Turns and Operating Margin have the highest correlation to market capitalization. I find value in looking at these metrics together. These metrics are inter-related and the relationships are not linear.
