Abstract:
This presentation will discuss the impact of a balanced set of metrics for
the vitality of a manufacturing supply chain. The element of human bias is
inevitable in any organizational activity.
In some cases, the bias could be caused actually by sub-optimally aligned
organizational structure and reporting relationships. Appropriate design
of metrics become more important in such cases. What keeps such biases in
check are proper measurement techniques combined with appropriate
incentive mechanisms. It is not only important to measure the right areas,
but also to define the measures correctly.
During this discussion we will review a set of holistic performance
metrics for a manufacturing supply chain, interdependence of the
measurements, and biases addressed by the incentive process. This
presentation will also look at the mechanics behind the various supply
chain metrics and provide a methodology to perform root cause analysis of
supply chain performance challenges.
