Establishing supply chain KPIs enables the supply chain organization to justify, monitor and drive individual processes, as well as accelerate overall supply chain performance by balancing local and global performance improvements. But, supply chain complexity and the sheer number of KPIs available are leading to confusion over using metrics, resulting in poor business decisions.
Gartner is helping supply chain leaders define, align and assess metrics, leading to faster, smarter decisions. Gartner’s Hierarchy of Supply Chain Metrics Benchmark captures a wide array of supply chain KPI metrics to provide an end-to-end view of overall business goals and objectives, enabling informed decisions about how to drive supply chain performance and innovation.
