Define Scorecard

The activities associated with the selection of the key metrics for each performance attribute for each supply chain. A scorecard is used to define the metrics of most interest to an organization, to arrange them by area of impact, by business priority, and to provide a container for later benchmarking comparisons. Each scorecard is built from a subset of hundreds of OpenReference metrics.

Balanced Scorecard example
A standard method to analyze the performance of supply chains is the use of Balanced Scorecards. A Balanced Scorecard consists of a limited number of agreed, well-defined metrics, categorized by business perspective.

An example of such metrics are the level-1 OpenReference metrics for each Performance Attribute.

Notes

Busines Plan Review is a key step prior to defining scorecards. Without a deep understanding of the business plan, metrics are typically not --clearly-- linked to business priorities. Developing the Business Strategy Map will reveal any gaps in linkage between priorities and metrics. The Discovery (A102) and Documentation/definition (A108) of supply chains are a key preceding steps. Without clearly defined supply chains, scorecards may contain aggregate data of conflicting supply chain types e.g. Make-to-Order and Make-to-Stock together.
