The Supply Chain Best Practices Framework provides an integrated structure for defining, measuring and improving
supply chain processes. The framework establishes an end-to-end view that applies to all entities participating
in extended, inter-company supply chains, including vendors/suppliers, manufacturers, distributors and end-use customers.

The Framework is based on the belief that certain themes are likely to be found in world class supply
chains and an improved understanding of the practical implementations of these themes is an important
step in the path to best practices. These themes include:
|
|
- Efficiency
- Velocity
- Reliability
- Optimization
- Collaboration
- Flexibility
|
|
- Visibility
- Integration
- Measurment
- Continuous Improvement
- Prioritization
|
|

|
To accomplish its goals for collecting, analyzing and sharing benchmarking and best practices information,
the Framework is designed to achieve the following objectives:
|
-
Capture data on enterprise profiles, including business models and operating characteristics, to
facilitate creation of ad hoc peer groups for analysis.
-
Understand what companies are doing today, i.e. establish process baselines.
-
Learn where companies are headed based on current strategies and tactics.
-
Capture performance metrics, including current performance, goals and definitions.
-
Identify best practices, including what is working and what is not working.
-
Establish a structure for sharing experiences and learning's that protects individual enterprise confidentiality,
yet encourages enterprise creativity in defining a path forward.
