A Control Paradigm DefinitionThe process where planned performance is brought into line or kept in line with desired objectives. • Control can be represented as a model whose key elements are: • Inputs, process, and outputs • Standards and goals • Performance measurement • Monitoring • Corrective action • Control systems are: • Open-loop • Closed-loop • Modified
Schematic of Control Process Elements of the control process Standards or goals Monitor Comparison by manager, consultant, or computer Corrective action Performance reports Process Ongoing supply chain activities Inputs Outputs Supply chain activities and customer service levels Activity costs and customer service External and internal forces and changes 16-4 CR (2004) Prentice Hall, Inc.
Open-Loop Control System Service and inventory level goals Monitor Corrective action: The manager Adjust supply Reports on cost and service Process Inputs Outputs Warehouse Stock resupply Stockouts and operation inventory costs Demand 16-5 CR (2004) Prentice Hall, Inc.

Auditing Performance • Reasons for conducting an audit • Bring logistics system in line with the inherent demand characteristics • Identify opportunities for improvement • Understand the nature of logistics in the firm and its relative costs • Determine if logistics meets its performance goals • Elements to evaluate • Customer service levels • Transportation costs • Inventory costs • Demand levels • Purchase costs
Benchmarking Performance • Benchmarking • Establishes an external reference point • Compares company performance to the best-in- class • Sources of benchmarking data • Consulting firms • University research centers • Trade associations • Sponsored studies CR (2004) Prentice Hall, Inc.

SCOR Model • The SCOR model: • Links processes or supply chain activities to performance measures, best practices, and software requirements • Provides a systematic approach for identifying, evaluating, and monitoring supply chain performance • Has a broad scope beginning with a demand forecast or order placement and ending with final invoice and final payment • Accepts process description that can be product specific • Has a five component framework of plan, source, make, deliver, and return • Incorporates five performance measures of reliability, responsiveness, flexibility, costs, and efficiency of asset utilization CR (2004) Prentice Hall, Inc.
