Given the more customer-centric demand-driven model – coupled with greater access to information – the metrics that manufacturers monitor to make improvements in operations become more focused and actionable. Inventory Turns, On-time Delivery and Fill Rate provide an overall indication of Operations and Supply Chain health, while other metrics such as Schedule Adherence, Supplier Quality and Yield provide more localized insight.

Ask yourself, “Are your supply chain metrics bogging you down?” ” To manage a supply chain containing complex dependencies between teams, departments and partner companies across international boundaries requires a rich set of metrics. However, companies often have too many independent metrics that can cause conflicts amongst competing supply chain functions. Functionally isolated metrics lead to sub-optimized supply chain performance.

Supply chain optimization has also improved in significant ways that can address these trade-offs better than before. Analytical techniques like linear programming can create the mathematically “optimal” plan, but these methods must be implemented well to avoid creating other challenges.

Interview with Lora Cecere, Founder and CEO of Supply Chain Insights and Author of Supply Chain Metrics that Matter ( published December 2014 ). Metrics that Matter became a three year research project. I hired a research assistant to look at balance sheets and looked at performance and really tried to figure out which metrics mattered. We interviewed supply chain leaders and in the middle of that I decided that I would write this book, Supply Chain Metrics that Matter.

A new report from Nucleus Research, Value Drivers of Single Model S&OP , concludes that the historical disconnect between planning and execution in S&OP is best bridged by a single unified data model that allows companies to continuously synchronize their strategic, tactical and execution plans. We’ve been promoting a single unified model approach for some time, and we see these analyst endorsements as a positive trend.

While conventional logistics optimizes the flow of goods from producer to consumer, reverse logistics manages the processes for inverting that flow to deal with returned parts, materials and products from the consumer back to the producer. For instance, a growing number of cell phone manufacturers have established procedures in place for consumers who wish to return an older model and ensure that the device is refurbished or recycled rather than dumped into the local landfill.

I knew nothing about the world of logistics, inventory management and order optimization. For the purposes of this article, I define the processes of network design as the use of analytic tools to model and optimize the supply chain. The work can use multiple technologies and combine cognitive learning, simulation and optimization. The question is “not to optimize what exists, but to develop a roadmap of what should exist.”

Supply chain optimization is a widespread term, but did you know that an optimized supply chain is not necessarily a resilient one? You can use modeling technology to accurately identify and quantify potential supply chain risks and their corresponding costs, and develop mitigation strategies through scenario optimization and advanced analytics to build resiliency into your operations. This provides high-level metrics for evaluating risk in the supply chain.

If you (or your boss) are measured by your company's Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) or a similar metric, then you want to turn assets into cash. Inventory optimization is one proven way to do it. But they're often missing the extra optimization and analytics logic that drives the supply chain to operate more efficiently and throw off more cash. That's where inventory optimization comes in. That means inventory optimization goes in fast, in three months or so.
