BENCHMARKING - PMG's Supply Chain Performance Scorecard

The concept of operations at high-technology companies is changing. No longer does it apply simply to the manufacturing of products. Rather, operations apply to the concept of managing a supply chain spanning from suppliers' suppliers to customers' customers. In fact, effectively configuring your supply chain can be a source of sustainable competitive advantage. Our benchmarking studies show that superior performance is attainable when a company can integrate the Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return processes of its supply chain operations.

PMG, endorsed by The Supply Chain Council as their premiere benchmarking partner, utilizes a standard set of metrics based on the industry standard Supply Chain Operations Reference-model (SCOR).

The Supply Chain Performance Scorecard will provide you with a quick assessment of your supply chain performance through a relatively small investment in your time and resources. You will be able to view your reports and perform customized searches on the PMG database within one week after your valid data have been submitted and accepted. The Scorecard will enable you to determine which supply chain improvements will yield the most strategic value to your company by finding the favourable and unfavourable gaps in your supply chain to help reduce costs and increase revenue opportunities.
