Effective supply chain planning requires making cost-conscious decisions. In addition to being cost competitive, the goal of supply chain planning is to establish a supply chain that is both responsive and resilient.

Take a comprehensive look at how your supply chain is performing against relevant peer groups’ by completing the Retail Industry Supply Chain Planning Open Standards Benchmarking Assessment and uncover opportunities for:

  • Improved Supply Chain Management Costs;
  • Increased Perfect Order Performance;
  • Reduced Order Cycle Times;
  • and Improved Enterprise, Distribution Center, and Retail Store Supply Chain Performance.

Metrics within this assessment include:

  • Perfect order performance
  • Selling, general, and administrative (SGA) costs as a percentage of business entity revenue
  • Average number of out-of-stock product/SKUs as a percentage of the total number of products/SKUs at the retail store point of sale
