Objectives & Deliverables

1.	Industry Best Practices Report – The Study provides a report called the Summary of Findings that identifies and describes in detail global best practice “themes” in the chemical industry. Click below to view the best practice "themes" for the Transportation Management topic.


2.	Supply Chain Assessment – Just like an assessment the study analyzes business unit specific supply chain functions and delivers detailed comparisons to Peer Group averages. Opportunity areas are highlighted and explored further. Click below to see a sample graph.


3.	Supply Chain Assessment – Each of the functional topics explored by the study are compared to Best Practices. Differences across geographies and within a business unit can be analyzed. Click below to see an example of how a wide variety of critical supply chain functions are performing relative to the Best Practices.


4.	Supply Chain Assessment – Key metrics used in tracking supply chain performance will be compared to Peer Group averages and Best Practices. Click below to see an example graph showing Forecast Error.


5.	Access to the database – Participants will be allowed to perform their own controlled investigations into the database. A business unit with operations in the NAFTA region might want to compare themselves to a Peer Group in Asia Pacific to seek additional perspectives. Click below to view two graphs that may result from a participating chemical company's independent investigation into the study data.


6.	Inter-Company Comparisons – The study acts like an online supply chain assessment and can be used to identify functional strengths and weaknesses that exist within a global chemical business.


7.	Report with Participant Answers – Upon request, participants can receive an electronic copy of their answers. This is especially valuable when operations located in different regions of the world participate.
