More than ever, today's leading global manufacturing companies are using business intelligence to improve their integrated supply chains. Large volumes of raw data are generated and stored by each process of the supply chain - plan, source, make, deliver and return - by the automated enterprise applications being used at most large, global manufacturers. The challenge for many manufacturers lies in determining what information is necessary to drive improvements and efficiencies at each process in the supply chain, and designing an information management environment to turn the raw data into meaningful metrics and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). The Supply Chain Operations Reference-model (SCOR) is a valuable information source regarding KPIs and metrics that are used to better manage the supply chain process.
