How Mature is your Supply Chain? |
|
Dutch Consulting firm Jeroen van den Berg Consulting and the VU University Amsterdam have launched the Supply Chain Maturity Scan. The initiators want to make managers aware of how much cost savings are still possible in their supply chain. Via an online questionnaire, the scan measures the maturity of the company’s supply chain. The scan also scrutinizes if the developments in the supply chain are well aligned and it computes the savings potential.
The first user of the scan was the Logistics Management division of the Royal Dutch Air Force. This department is responsible for directing the air defense supply chain. Lieutenant-Colonel Erik van de Ven: "We were involved in a large number of improvement projects. With a large group, we filled out the Supply Chain Maturity Scan. This told us which initiatives produced short-term results and which ones we could better put on hold. Now we are not only able to spend our time more effectively, it also creates tranquility and confidence among our people. "
