Supply Chain Management
Supply chains are incredibly difficult to manage because they cross functional, enterprise, geographic, and political boundaries. To set appropriate goals for your market strategy and identify best practices, you should understand how your supply chains are performing in comparison with those of industry peers as well as best-in-class organizations.
Identify the strengths and weaknesses in your supply chain processes and prioritize opportunities for improvement using any of the following assessments.
APQC’s supply chain assessment surveys are part of a larger improvement initiative–the Open Standards Benchmarking CollaborativeSM (OSBC). Using APQC’s Process Classification FrameworkSM (PCF) as the foundation, APQC has identified the critical set of supply chain performance indicators that are needed to accurately measure performance in each of these areas.
