Supply Chain Index work for the periods of 2006-2012 and 2009-2012. In this deck, we share the background on the Supply Chain Index, and the performance of companies by industry on the Effective Frontier. The measurements used to evaluate balance, alignment and resiliency are year-over-year growth, Return on Invested Capital (ROIC), operating margin and inventory turns. The concept is that supply chain leaders need to drive year-over-year improvements that are balanced, aligned and reliable against their peer groups. The Supply Chain Index allows companies to compare themselves against tailored peer groups and over different time frames to understand how they are improving on the Effective Frontier of Supply Chain Performance.
