PEER GROUP
WORKSHOP
Delegates will be involved in a
peer group discussion to understand current supply chain
performance and how to identify potential improvement
opportunities.
Initially, delegates will be grouped into
one of six (depends on the numbers of delegates) companies and
each given a role in the supply chain, e.g. planning, make
(purchasing), deliver (inventory, transport, customer service).
Overall company details will be provided (industry, activity,
customer channels, number of SKUs, etc). Then a level 1 KPI
(metrics) table will be provided to delegates that will detail
their company’s supply chain performance.
Activity one is for each
delegate, from their position in the supply chain, to write a
couple of paragraphs describing the current supply chain
performance based on the Level 1 KPIs.
Activity two is for the
company delegates to group together and discuss and build a
common view of supply chain performance.
Activity three is then to
conduct a peer group meeting starting with each company
explaining their current performance. Delegates from other
companies can interject raising points that require
clarification.
Timing for this workshop can be as short as
one hour and as long as 4 hours.
Learning’s from the workshop environment
include;
- How to read a set of
level 1 KPIs.
- Understand how process, customer channels
and company profile impacts on what the KPIs actually mean.
KPI gaps do not always equate to improvement opportunity!!
Need to ask why, why, why, why and why!
- See first hand how KPIs are the starting
point for benchmarking and process improvement.
- Identify that different people depending
on, their position in the supply chain, may interpret the
same information differently.
- Enables delegates to experience the new
learning environment of, peer group networking.
