network ◼ At the core of any Supply chain strategy are ten building blocks
◼ We will go through these building blocks
in three levels. Level 1: Strategic
◼ This level has only one element, which is the
most critical one- Customer value alignment. The key questions here are: ◼ (i) What would be the Supply Chain structure and capabilities that will be required to meet customer service needs in an optimal way. ◼ (ii) How can you leverage your Supply Chain to create value for your customer, partners and your organization? Level 2: Structural
◼ There are two key elements in the structural
layer of a Supply Chain strategy: ◼ (1) Network optimization: What should be the best Supply Chain network configuration to meet channel and customer service requirements. ◼ (2) Channel design: What level of operational integration needs to be achieved among the channel members? Level 3: Operational
◼ (1) Sourcing, production and inventory
management: How should the company source inputs, manufacture products and deploy inventory to match supply and demand at the right cost? ◼ (2) Facilities and Transportation operations: What type of distribution and transportation will optimize service, investment and cost? ◼ (3) Integrated Planning: What is the most optimal and best in class way to plan end to end Supply Chain operations in collaboration with all the partners? Level 4: Foundational Supporting elements
◼ (1) Technology: What type of technology
infrastructure is needed to manage and plan the end to end Supply Chain ? ◼ (2) Processes: What processes and procedures need to be in place for flexible, effective operations? ◼ (3) People: What type of skills, capabilities and organizational structure are required to achieve service and operating objectives? ◼ (4) Performance Management: What infrastructure, measures and incentives need to be in place to ensure ongoing peak performance? Summary ◼ The building blocks/elements are the basis for the strategy and you need to evaluate your strategy against these elements regularly to ensure that you are operating a best in class Supply Chain. Supply Chain Performance Measurement: ◼ Achieving efficiency and effectiveness objectives requires a set of standards to compare to actual performance. ◼ These standards are called metrics. Dimensions of Performance Metrics ◼ Establishing appropriate metrics is a complex problem. ◼ Measuring inappropriate performance can
lead to a company chasing the wrong goal.
◼ Metrics drive behavior --- what you
measure is what you get.
◼ Logistics cost metrics should focus on the total supply chain, not on just one link. Figure 13-1 Raising the Performance Bar Overview of Performance Measurement1 ◼ Figure 13-2 contains a list of performance measures captured on a regular basis within companies. ◼ Knowing what metrics to use is a very important issue. ◼ Figure 13-3 provides some insight into the characteristics of good performance measures.

Evolution of Metrics Utilization ◼ Most organizations go through several phases in the development of meaningful metrics: ◼ Stage 1 – awareness of the importance of
using the appropriate metric
◼ Stage 2 – developing the actual metric
◼ Stage 3 – performance improvement
◼ Stage 4 – integration internally and across
the supply chain
Performance Categories ◼ There are a number of approaches that can be used to classify performance metrics. ◼ The next two slides illustrate performance metrics: ◼ Figure 13-4 identifies four principle process measure categories. ◼ Figure 13-5 shows various customer service metrics and how important they are to customers. Figure 13-4 Process Measure Categories Figure 13-5 Do Customers Use These Measures to Evaluate Your Performance? Figure 13-6 Logistics Quantification Pyramid Another Approach to Metric Classification ◼ The next four slides demonstrate other approaches to metric classification: ◼ Figures 13-7 and 13-8 illustrate for ABC Power
Tools, cost and management of inventory metrics.
◼ Figure 13-9 shows basic logistics service outputs
or service performance for metrics development.
◼ Figure 13-10 shows the results of a 1999 survey
of the percentage of companies that measure
performance of each of the five service outputs as well as the percentage that measures value.

The Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model ◼ This model was attempts to integrate well known concepts of process reengineering, benchmarking, and process measurement into a cross functional relationship by: ◼ Capturing the “as is” state of a process and derive the
“to be” future state (reengineering);
◼ Quantify the operational performance of similar
companies and establish “best of class” performance
(benchmarking); and, ◼ Characterize and describe the management processes
that will result in “best in class” performance (best
practice analysis). Figure 13-11 SCOR is Based on Five Distinct Management Processes MINOR PROJECT Research Publication Kocaoğlu, B., Gülsün, B. & Tanyaş, M.
