Benchmarking and performance management are key to establish a baseline for performance improvement and cost reduction but you also need to consider the soft issues in terms of culture, behaviour and organisation.

Benchmarking and Performance Management

Performance Toolbox

We have developed a toolbox approach to supply chain performance management.  This means we can define a baseline and track progress and improvements in our projects.

Supply Chain Audit
Our audit approach provides the basis to benchmark seven key areas from strategy to metrics.  This reflects a best practice end to end approach but also our own observations and experiences of working with top businesses and organisation over the last 20 years. The Supply Chain Audit includes both hard (process) and soft (organisational) issues that are benchmarked.

Purchasing Benchmarking
We have collected data from over 200 major international purchasing organisations.  This provides terms of reference for all our projects and helps us make well informed comments about our various projects in terms of key facts and figures and ratios between different organisations and sectors.

Project Scorecards
For every project we agree and define the deliverables.  These become the basis of a project scorecard which we use to track progress and ensure that all issues are fully addressed.  The scorecard then has application within the business beyond the life of the consultancy project.
