Abstract

To remain competitive in a global economy, continuous improvement is required in every aspect of supply management. This workshop details an approach to self-assess the supply organization to measure internal effectiveness and establish baselines against which future progress can be measured. This method leads to open information exchange between management and the supply organization, improves overall morale, and leads to effective change management and more successful implementation.
