According to Lora Cecere, supply chain leaders frequently turn to benchmarking in pursuit of excellence but often fall short of potential. In this post, she cites examples where current benchmarking practices fail to optimize supply chain value and describes her vision of a holistic end-to-end data flow of near-real time data that could make benchmarking easier, less costly, and more effective. Cecere applauds several initiatives that target improved benchmarking—including Terra Technology's annual forecast performance study—and challenges technology providers to create the next generation platform that will help supply chain management achieve full potential.
