Supply chain benchmarking is defined as the process of collecting information on good practices in the sector and from industry leaders to study and adapt them to the reality of your company.
The benchmarking approach in SCM can include assessing the current status of the industrial partners, identifying performance measures, use of a generic benchmarking questionnaire, performing the benchmarking visits in teams and analysing the processes for best practices and performance improvement.
Methodology aiming to ensure the optimal operation of a supply chain
Supply-chain optimization (SCO) aims to ensure the optimal operation of a manufacturing and distribution supply chain.
This includes the optimal placement of inventory within the supply chain, minimizing operating costs including manufacturing costs, transportation costs, and distribution costs.
Optimization often involves the application of mathematical modelling techniques using computer software.
It is often considered to be part of supply chain engineering, although the latter is mainly focused on mathematical modelling approaches, whereas supply chain optimization can also be undertaken using qualitative, management based approaches.
