A lot of innovation happening nowadays is not so much in the products as in the processes. The importance of integrated, globally optimised supply chains is well understood. Executives have discovered the impact on business performance that can be achieved by effectively managing their supply chains. Nevertheless, a recent study shows that only a fraction of today's supply chains are managed efficiently. One important reason is the mounting challenges faced by executives. These include globalisation and outsourcing, a significant increase in supply and demand uncertainties, more products with short life cycles and the proliferation of products in today's markets. We will identify measures to characterise the business performance as well as supply chain effectiveness and develop measures to characterise the level of maturity of the business process and the information technology employed by a company. Our objective in this research is to identify enablers that allow companies to manage their supply chains so as to maximise business performance. We focus on two classes of enablers: business processes and information technology.
Benchmarking Success have a well established process for assisting with the development of KPI's that are both relevant and effective at measuring business Supply Chain performance and progress towards strategic goals. The process links Strategy to Critical Success Factors (CSF's) for the business and then to the development of a set of KPI's that will both:measure progress towards the business strategy, andprovide visibility for all levels of the business as to their contribution to the business strategy.The KPI's can be represented as a table (see Level 1 Metrics) or by contribution to shareholder value.Benchmarking Success can also provide a process for the effective deployment of the KPI's into the business. This includes guidance on the systems requirements for reporting, definitions, change management processes and performance management issues.The COFS™ Diagnostic (Customer Order Fulfilment and Supply Chain) provides the ability to report on all critical KPI's for the supply chain. By further comparison against the database the performance of a supply chain can be positioned against similar supply chains. This approach is "customer driven" and assists with the targeting of improvement initiatives and the ongoing development of business strategy.

Supply chain means, a chain of supply frow raw material to final product or to consumer. For example: Hides -> tanning -> cutting -> manufacturing -> leather bags -> consumer.
The chain of distribution refers to the distribution up and down the supply chain, i.e., your suppliers and customers.
This is a part of what is called vertical integration. If your company has a large and continuing need for a supply requirement and there are few suppliers to provide it, you may wish to purchase a supplier to ensure continuance of the supply. Similarly, if your supply requirement is from an unstable, costly or fluctuating market you may wish to purchase a supplier to reduce the cost of the supply.

Supply chain mapping is the method to capture existing business process and performance across various organization from upstream raw material producers to downstream retailing companies. Visualization of business process is the key to determine how to improve operations and how to increase coordination among different parties in the same supply chain. The result of good supply chain mapping can be reduction of lead-time or delivery time or cost reduction.
Objective of a Supply Chain • Maximize overall value created • Supply chain value: difference between what the final product is worth to the customer and the effort the supply chain expends in filling the customer's request • Value is correlated to supply chain profitability (difference between revenue generated from the customer and the overall cost across the supply chain) • Sources of supply chain revenue: the customer • Sources of supply chain cost: flows of information, products, or funds between stages of the supply chain • Supply chain management is the management of flows between and among supply chain stages to maximize total supply chain profitability
One can optimize supply chain visibility by using a Sterling Supply Chain Visibility from IBM. This type of supply chain will help to optimize it quite nicely.
