Example Probability of a Perfect Order - SAMPLE DATA

The probability of a perfect order takes a cross functional look at the customer order fulfilment process – beginning when a customer order is taken and ending with a paid invoice. Think about it this way; consider the customer being positioned to the right of the graphic and looking back into the order fulfilment process. The customer sees the cumulative effect of the processes that need to combine to provide the perfect order.

The components of a perfect order follow the customer order fulfilment process and are all percentages of how close to perfect the organisation is performing. The perfect order components are;

  1. Customer order entry accuracy – this is represented as a percentage of customer orders that are recorded without error. If there are no accuracy errors in any customer orders then performance is 100%.
  2. Inventory availability - based on the first request from the customer - not the negotiated order. It is shown as lines immediately available in full at time of order as a proportion of lines ordered by the customer.
  3. Warehousing performance – actual delivery in full on time out of the warehouse / distribution centre. Identifies the ability of the warehouse to pick the request for stock passed to them accurately and on time.
  4. Transport on time performance - the carrier delivery performance compared to agreed delivery time to customer.
  5. Customer accepts order – takes into account credits, damages and product returns.

Invoice accuracy – how many invoices are accurate in terms of quantity and pricing. The assumption is that if the invoice is accurate then the customer will pay it. Process stops with customer payment.

 

Example of Level 1 Supply chain Metrics - SAMPLE DATA

The Level 1 Supply Chain Metrics provides a strategic snapshot of your supply chain performance. It takes the data provided by you about your supply chain and illustrates that performance as a bar across a continuum between disadvantage and advantage. This continuum is created from the dataset you selected for your benchmark comparison group..

So if your bar appears in parity this indicates that your performance for this KPI is average compared to the dataset you selected. To the left are companies in disadvantage and to the right are the best practice companies.

The Level 1 Metrics illustration assists you in understanding your current performance and in comparing that against best practice performance for each KPI.

The KPIs included are;

  1. Actual [not promised] delivery performance in full by line to the customer

  2. Actual on time delivery performance.

  3. These two numbers are then multiplied together to provide your DIFOT [delivery in full and on time] performance.

  4. Actual supply chain and logistics costs as a % of gross sales – includes purchasing administration, inventory management, warehousing, outbound transport and customer service.

  5. Cash to cash cycle days – incorporates
     a. accounts payable days [days you take to pay suppliers]
     b. inventory days [raw materials, work in progress and finished goods]
     c. accounts receivable days [days customers take to pay you].
    Cash cycle put simply is the time in days between when I pay out money to my suppliers to when I get money back from my customers – it includes the working capital tied up in the business.

  6. Finished goods stock turn over – how often finished goods turn over in the business. If inventory turns over every 30 days then stock turns is about 12.
