Supply Chain Strategy   THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SUPPLY CHAIN STRATEGY Action research and experience seem to characterize three dimensions of Supply Chain Strategy including 1) defining performance factors – setting appropriate goals, utilizing effective design techniques, and managing performance measures; 2) cascading the factors to each of four performance layers – the organization chart layer, process layer, job layer, and technology layer; and 3) aligning each layer with your trading partners – suppliers and customers.       APPROACH A strategy improvment plan is based on completion of a survey (see file download below); a facilitated process of assembling where in the above matrix your gaps are located; and finally assembling an improvement plan.   Step 1 – Complete Supply Chain Strategy Survey Step 2 – Assemble Strategy Gap Summary Step 3 – Assemble Improvement Plan     SURVEY AND SCORING WORKSHEET Supply Chain Strategy Survey Survey Scoring Worksheet     TYPICAL PROJECT DELIVERABLES Business Context Document, Supply Chain Definition Matrix, Industry Comparison, SCOR® Metrics, Benchmark Assessment, Supply Chain Competitive Requirements, SCORcard, Geographic Map, Leading Practice Assessment, SCOR Process Map and RACI Analysis, Strategic Gap Summary, and Implementation Plan.     COMPANY RESOURCE COMMITMENT To be successful, the assessment needs effective sponsorship, finance and logistics support, and data warehouse access.     TYPICAL PROJECT SCHEDULE A range of 3 to 6 weeks is necessary to complete the strategy assessment.     MORE INFORMATION Each Supply Chain Strategy Project is configured using a Statement of Work (SOW); if you are interested in more information about how this service may support your company, please contact Peter directly, 651 398 2830 or peterbolstorff@scelimited.com.
