SUPPLY CHAIN BEST PRACTICE MODEL

Benchmarking Success assesses current organisational performance providing an understanding of best practice supply chain management and the identification of performance gaps.

The input for this best practice supply chain model is the customer order fulfilment and supply chain diagnostic (COFs™) diagnostic. Over 700 supply chains have completed this diagnostic. The COFs™ diagnostic contains all the elements of the supply chain, incorporating:

• planning,
• sourcing / procurement (including inbound logistics),
• manufacturing,
• delivery / outbound logistics (including reverse logistics), and
• key management inputs which drive the demonstrated performance

Benchmarking Success has pioneered this best practice supply chain model which organisations employ on an ongoing basis to rank their performance and plan business strategies. The output of this process is a SCAR report (Strategic Supply Chain Audit Report)

The best practice model is also used in Benchmarking Success’ benchmarking and improvement peer groups.

World’s best practice is a dynamic concept and Benchmarking Success need to be capable of regularly upgrading our best practice model (and with it our thinking and diagnostic methods). To this end the team must constantly be looking for ways to improve.

Planned changes to the database, best practice model, [etc] are consolidated and undertaken regularly.
