TRANSPARENCY MANAGEMENT

Transparency starts with a good set of metrics, but needs correct information in real time • Transparency into operations requires quantitative performance measurements. This is just given by the size, complexity, and speen in which the company ticks. • The art of KPI and metrics is not to be underestimated. Most companies still stick with a set of traditional metrics they consider to be KPI. • But the real power is in understanding which topic need management attention, and how to best generate insights into them, and to provide focus. • Besides measuring the right metrics, a lot of creativity, combined with IT tool capabilities, can deliver new, and often high impact insights into the current situation of the operations. • The example on the left shows a combination of two metrics in a portfolio type exhibit, which leads to clear positioning of improvement activities. • Big Data is often expected to deliver new insights. But the key is to identify the main issue area, and how to apply targeted, revealing measurements in the right way. • Please contact us if you want to learn more about our methods to improve transparency in your supply chain.
