Benchmark your Supply Chain with Oliver Wight’s Singapore Seminar

SINGAPORE - Feb. 26, 2014 - PRLog -- In an increasingly competitive economy, benchmarking supply chain performance is more important than ever. Business improvement specialists, Oliver Wight, are hosting a free-to-attend seminar on supply chain benchmarking at the Singapore Marriott Hotel on April 2^nd in Singapore.

Don Harding, Oliver Wight’s Singapore based Partner, will lead the three hour seminar.

“Performance benchmarking is a valuable tool for maintaining a robust supply chain and can dramatically improve customer service whilst saving $millions,” explains Harding. “Oliver Wight data shows providing best-in-class service can halve supply chain costs.”

The interactive seminar will teach delegates:

Why you should benchmark
What leading supply chains do differently
How to go about benchmarking

Benchmarking against global peers is increasing in popularity; the 2013 Bain and Company Management Tools and Trends report showed that benchmarking was the second most popular business tool for companies in North America, Europe and the Middle East. However, benchmarking is currently underutilized in Asia; it came thirteenth in the survey.

“Ignorance is not bliss. If you don’t know how well you are performing, or what best-in-class looks like, how do you know where you can improve, or by how much? You can’t improve what you don’t measure,” says Mike Reed, Oliver Wight Asia Pacific Managing Partner.

The Oliver Wight Performance Benchmarking Tool creates an ‘improvement report’, which highlights opportunities for improvement and outlines actionable steps to achieve short, medium and long term goals. And by identifying performance gaps, the tool is able to quantify ‘the size of the prize’ - the real financial benefits to be gained.

The seminar takes place from 7.30am to 10.30am.
