Our Benchmarking
Our benchmarking data is collected from a wide range of industries and sources to deliver a true best practice standard that is practical and relevant to your company and industry.
Looking at supply chain costs as a percentage of sales, ‘best in class’ performers have roughly half the costs of ‘average in class’ performers. In other words, if you’re an average performer, your supply chain costs are likely twice that of the best performers.
Best in class performers have higher asset turnover because inventories are lower, often by 20-40 percent comparatively, while customer response times are faster.
In a climate of tight credit and higher capital costs, those that can generate superior cashflows and return on capital employed (ROCE), will outperform.
JSN Benchmarking can identify your biggest “bang for buck” improvement opportunities by analysing world’s best practice to your organisation’s current performance. KPIs/benchmarks can include areas such as perfect order metric, time-quality measurements (on-time delivery, throughput time, first pass fill/first ship fill), inventory turns, working capital management vs. product availability, procurement spend data, warehousing efficiency, transportation costs and other supply chain key result areas to help build a picture of performance.
