Supply Chain Planning Benchmarking Assessment
Supply chain planning professionals strive to be cost competitive and establish a supply chain that is responsive and resilient. Take a comprehensive look at how your supply chain is performing against relevant peer groups’ by completing the Supply Chain Planning Open Standards Benchmarking Assessment and uncover opportunities for:
- improving forecast accuracy,
- reducing inventory,
- speeding up the cash-to-cash cycle time, and
- reducing stock-outs and backorders.
Other key measures represented in this assessment include:
- Customer order cycle time in days
- Average monthly shipping location forecast error measured by the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE)
- Customer retention rate for all customers over the past three reporting periods
- Inventory carrying cost as a percentage of inventory value
