Moving Forward Using the Hierarchy of Supply Chain Metrics, with assessment at the top tier followed by targeted root cause analysis at middle and ground levels, companies can quickly and efficiently assess and diagnose the health of their supply chain. Coupled with a clear view of their application technology and best practice enablers, specific corrective actions can then be identified. Rather than facing a morass of hundreds of metrics, the model allows companies to start with just a few critical ones, and use what's identified there to guide attention only to those additional metrics that are needed. Bringing order to the chaos, this approach allows companies to efficiently use scarce resources to quickly and accurately uncover root cause issues, identify specific and targeted corrective actions to address them, and regularly monitor progress to ensure a continual momentum forward toward excellence.
