The Toolkit contains the following practical and powerful enablers with new and updated Logistics and SCM specific requirements:
STEP 1: Get your bearings
Start with...
- The latest quick edition of the Logistics and SCM Self Assessment book in PDF containing 49 requirements to perform a quickscan, get an overview and share with stakeholders.
Organized in a data driven improvement cycle RDMAICS (Recognize, Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control and Sustain), check the…
- Example pre-filled Self-Assessment Excel Dashboard to get familiar with results generation
Then find your goals...
STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 969 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Logistics and SCM improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 969 standard requirements:
- How is the complex digital supply chain -where multiple downstream providers provide services for each other and data residence and transmission points are increasingly obscure -being dealt with from an audit perspective?
- Are you committed to making the necessary investments in terms of infrastructure, training and education to develop the necessary lean supply chain management culture, structures and tools?
- What are the cost implications of attempting to specify the impact of logistics operations on the value of the customers organization as well as on the value of suppliers own stock price?
- Has your organization ever identified a cyber incident or control systems incident that could be attributed to corrupted hardware or software linked to a supply chain vulnerability?
- Now that organizations have fine-tuned human performance, supply chain, operations, processes, cycle time, and other targeted areas, how can they continue to improve performance?
- Do you have in place a comprehensive set of prioritized improvement initiatives driven by the overarching (and related enabling) practices governing lean supply chain management?
- For coordinating with upstream supply chain partners, particularly suppliers, has the system developed mechanisms such as extending visibility of real-time demand information?
- More and more customers seek just-in-time deliveries of small quantities. Do you have the flexibility to cope with the range of customer demands likely to be placed upon you?
- If a part of the installed base is not adaptable to new sensor technology, do you have insight into the failure rate of critical components based on historical data on hand?
- Is the mere presence of ISO 9001 sufficient to achieve higher supply chain integration, or do some other contingent factors also have to be in place to achieve this outcome?
Complete the self assessment, on your own or with a team in a workshop setting. Use the workbook together with the self assessment requirements spreadsheet:
