A reinvigorated focus on the role production plays in today’s supply chain amplifies the need for a metrics system that connects and contextualizes production performance within the end to end supply chain.

How manufacturing is measured has progressed in the past five years, but data from a recent Gartner study shows there is more work to be done.

Discussion Topics:

• Which metrics organizations should prioritize to align manufacturing activities with supply chain outcomes
• The tactical challenges of governance and execution of manufacturing performance and how to address them
• The pervasive role of analytics in supporting manufacturing metrics

Let Simon show you what can be done to better your manufacturing metrics!
