Supply Chain - Supply Chain Performance Measurement
Traditionally, companies have measured performance of the individual elements within their supply chain, such as inbound freight, warehouse operations and delivery. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) have concentrated on logistics cost per unit, accuracy, lead time and damage.
Companies are increasingly focusing on the performance of their global supply chain. This has given rise to new KPIs, such as total order fulfilment time (order authorisation to customer acceptance), cash-to-cash cycle time (period from payment for raw materials to collection of payment for finished goods) and inventory days of supply (total inventory in the supply chain).
Total Logistics has worked with many successful companies to improve the performance of their global supply chains.
