Propel Your Supply Chain Design Maturity

Building a mature, sustainable Supply Chain Design Center of Excellence (COE) implies an evolution. Many organizations might start with one or two modelers focused on a singular function within the supply chain. Then, as they demonstrate their value to the organization, they grow and expand. So don’t expect a transformation overnight. But as you seek to establish and develop your supply chain design COE, these are some characteristics to keep in mind.

Characteristics of a mature supply chain design COE:

• Takes a holistic view of the supply chain.
• Involves the broader enterprise.
• Engages in continuous learning. 
• Drives continuous design with repeatable processes.
• Maintains a catalog of models.
• Is able to adapt to the rapidly-changing landscape of the modern supply chain.

Supply chain design capabilities are critical in an era of rapid change and disruption. Formalizing institutional knowledge and putting supply chain design at the forefront through a COE can reduce risk, improve resilience, and turn challenges into a competitive advantage.
