What Have We Learned?
• Each industry has a different pattern of
trade-offs of balancing
growth, profitability, cycles and complexity.
• Companies that are supply chain leaders
have very small movement with a balanced
portfolio of metrics.
• It is about MUCH more than Return on
Assets (ROA), growth and inventory.

performance over
time.
The diamond shows the company’s average over the period.
Ex: The Dow Chemical Company (DOW) has an average of 999
K$ for revenue per employee and 6.7 for inventory turns.
Ideally, companies are increasing
inventory turns and revenue per
employee, moving towards the upper
right corner of the graph over time.
Here, we plot inventory turns (y-axis)
vs. revenue per employee (x-axis).

Case Study

Inventory Turns vs.
Operating Margin (2000-2012)

A formulaic representation of
how companies are trading off
growth, profitability, cycle and
complexity performance on
selected supply chain financial
metrics against market
valuation.

• Supply chain is a complex system with
increasing complexity.
• Different industries have different
patterns, but the cash-to-cash metrics have
the highest correlation to market
capitalization with some of the poorest
performance.
