1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Logistics optimization<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a) Optimization of logistics must contribute to overall supply chain optimization<\/li>\n
  2. b) Companies my have to sacrifice internal efficiencies to gain overall supply chain optimization<\/li>\n
  3. c) Traditional measurement strategies are too simple to apply to modern complex supply chains<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Measurement approach<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. a) Specific measures used are dependant on the company and its activities<\/li>\n
    2. b) Measures must be non-financial as well as financial<\/li>\n
    3. c) Purpose of measurement and control is to provide management with actions that can be taken to improve competitiveness and planning<\/li>\n
    4. d) Three fundamental steps necessary<\/li>\n
    5. i) Extend supply chain definition<\/li>\n
    6. ii) Develop new measures and benchmarks<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      iii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Develop tools to implement new measures<\/p>\n

      3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Framework<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. a) Performance measures used should drive performance improvement<\/li>\n
      2. b) The entire supply chain must be included in the measurement system<\/li>\n
      3. c) The tools used differ depending on supply chain operating format and the companies strategies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

         <\/p>\n

        Key Points:<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Measurement systems must be all-inclusive<\/li>\n
        2. Sacrifices must be made by some players to achieve optimization<\/li>\n
        3. Measures should include both quantitative and qualitative measures<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
