Aligning Metrics to Achieve Supply Chain Goals

摘要

Metrics are a critical component in effectively managing a supply chain. So how does one know which metrics to use and how they affect achieving the desired supply chain goals? You would never drive a car without a speedometer because you know local police are using radar to measure your speed. The metric of speed also can be an indication that the driver, passengers, or others may be at risk. Therefore, it is important to know how fast you are going in order to avoid paying a fine or encountering a potentially hazardous situation.
