Benchmarking As A Catalyst For Supply Chain Improvement

Abstract:

Most supply chain managers understand that benchmarking can play a vital role in improving operational performance.

But it can be difficult and time consuming to find and work with other companies to benchmark operations. There are a variety of benchmark services in the market, but sometimes the comparison data is suspect, and/or it can be difficult to gather all the required information for these often very detailed surveys.

In this Videocast, we explore these issues and more, and learn how EMD Chemicals, used a new self-assessment tool to catalyze internal discussions about how its supply chain performance really measured up and where the best improvement opportunities could be found.
