Supply Chain Assessment Tools

SCAT

The first challenge you will have when you decide to improve/digitalize/put a new strategy for your supply chain is how and where to start!
Symbios will help you to figure out how and where to start and map the road map for your improvement/ SC digitalization / new SC strategy
First, you need to know to what extent is your supply chain organized, the maturity level of your supply chain, and how much you spend on your supply chain management, to figure out the overall cost needed to run your supply chain.

  • The questions to answer during the assessment are: “How are we doing?” and “How much do we want to improve?”
  • Assessing the current state of a process and determining the goal of the improvement initiative can be accomplished by comparing to other organizations’ performance as a “benchmark”
  • Various KPIs such as the SCOR ® metrics provide a basis for assessing current performance and target goals
  • There are process benchmarks that describe the qualities that makeup process excellence. As an example, we’ll look at the Oliver Wight supply chain checklist

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


SPEND ANALYSIS

Spend analysis is the process of identifying, gathering, cleansing, grouping, categorizing, and analyzing your organization’s spend data. This is done with the goal of decreasing procurement costs and improving efficiencies by increasing visibility and transparency. Using real-time data and analytics gives you the insight you need to save money and gain efficiency.

Spend analysis is just one piece of the much larger field of spend management. It is used to visualize all your data so you can make better sourcing and supplier decisions. Additionally, it can also help with improving contract compliance, reducing cycle times, and uncovering maverick spend.
