Performance Management for Your Supply Chain
Within the context of Supply Chain Management, performance management refers to an activity focused on measuring and ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of your efforts to optimize resources and satisfy demand with as little waste and delay as possible.
Common Supply Chain KPIs
Within SCM, performance management depends on your ability to consistently identify, define, and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). Examples of KPIs that are specifically relevant to SCM include the following:
- Perfect order rates – the percentage of on-time, accurate deliveries
- Payment cycle time – the time from paying suppliers to getting paid by customers
- Fulfillment time – the time between orders received and orders fulfilled
- Shipment fill rate – the order fill percentage
- Inventory supply time – with the goal of near Just-in-Time (JIT) replenishment
- Inventory turnover – the number of times a company has sold and replenished inventory
