Supply Chain Analysis

  • Chapter

Abstract

Before starting an improvement process one has to have a clear picture of the structure of the existing supply chain and the way it works. Consequently a detailed analysis of operations, inventories and processes constituting the supply chain is necessary. Therefore tools are needed that support an adequate evaluation, modelling and description of supply chains. In Sect. 2.1 (key) performance measures are presented whereas Sect. 2.2 gives an overview on inventories and introduces a standardized analysis methodology.
