Business Intelligence and Key Performance Indicators for Supply Chain Management

Over the past several decades, supply chain analysis has evolved into an art. As organisations recognize the expense, importance and value hidden along the steps in the supply chain, most enterprises have turned to supply chain reporting and enterprise analysis in an attempt to establish goals and metrics, and monitor results – all in a effort to control costs, optimise resources and ensure customer and partner satisfaction.

With true business intelligence, the supply chain manager and other teams and individuals engaged in aspects of the supply chain can create reports and personalised dashboards and alerts to establish objective goals and key performance indicators (KPIs) and monitor shipment systems and other enterprise applications using an integrated, single view of data.

Drill down, drill through, drill up, slice and dice and forecasting and predictive analysis features ensure that the supply chain is running smoothly and that issues that threaten business success are noted immediately. The user can drill down into the data to determine the root cause of the issue and adapt to the changing supply chain requirements to revert to a back-up supplier, step up production, add resources or shifts, monitor customer satisfaction and make appropriate decisions.

Materials, supplies, resources and other factors can be forecast accurately to ensure that seasonal, economical or customer sales factors are taken into consideration and that actual results will comply with the established plan.

If you are a supply chain manager, an executive or an end user with a role in the supply chain, you can leverage the flexible, personalised features of today’s BI solutions to monitor and analyse inventory trends, vendor performance and distribution network efficiency and to respond accurately to business needs.
