Conclusions:
When mapping the measures within Supplying, 226 were found. There are significant differences between the measurement structures of different organizational units, both concerning the presentation and the number of measures used. Of the 226 Supplying measures, eight can be used to support Plan & Secure Supply, e.g. Forecast Accuracy, DD Share and stock measures. Further, new measures such as Cost of Poor Planning and Order proposal Accuracy, are recommended to be developed. (Less)
