Business Objectives
Aligned with the Fowlers Critical Success Factors and Key Performance Indicator improvements for 2002:
Improve cash-to-cash.
Improve delivery performance.
Improve operating margin.
Develop effective supply chain knowledge management capability.
Improve utilization of Tier One ERP system to leverage capital investment.
Project Objectives
Set competitive performance requirements by supply chain. Create a SCORcard for each supply chain, as well as a consolidated enterprise SCORcard.
Identify gaps between current and desired performance.
Define the current material, work, and information flow for each supply chain, identify the disconnects/inefficiencies in the flows, and quantify the internal and external impacts of the disconnects.
Create TO BE material, work, and information flows for each supply chain, incorporating the high-level supply chain strategy and appropriate leading practices; addressing identified disconnects and closing or narrowing the identified SCORcard gaps.
Create and communicate a prioritized list of supply chain change recommendations to support a multiyear project portfolio of improvements.
Develop internal Fowlers competence in implementing SCOR projects in the future.
