The Diagnostic consists of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12 questions that assess an enterprise\u2019s strategic, tactical and operational supply chain planning and execution. It evaluates where your company is and identifies how to best get to where you want to be.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can still take advantage of this free enterprise assessment. We encourage you to first review <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/integrated-supplier-management-diagnostic?report=76mak74ak7eak1m3q1m3g1m361cak1m3g243g\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">this sample results report<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to better understand where an enterprise\u2019s capabilities for supplier management may lie along the continuum of the Integrated Supplier Management Maturity Model.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Insights from the Integrated Supplier Management Diagnostic<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approximately 115 customers have gained valuable insights from taking the Integrated Supplier Management Diagnostic assessment thus far. The results identify which of four levels of supplier management companies fall, from low to high: Non-Functional Supplier Management, Semi-Functional Supplier Management, Effective Supplier Management and Integrated Supplier Management.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;9724&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this group of respondents, the overall average scores range from Semi-Functional Supplier Management to Effective Supplier Management.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Semi-Functional generally means that the individual business functions operate well by themselves, but cross-functional processes are a struggle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Effective Supplier Management indicates effective cross-functional views and collaboration, but the challenge is to be truly adaptable. Processes work, but adapting processes is challenging.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, only 2% of respondents identified their supplier management as \u201cexcellent\u201d in all areas and rated themselves to be at the Integrated Supplier Management level across the board. For the other 98% of respondents, the results tell us there is room for improvement in one or more aspects of supplier management to become more adaptive as an enterprise. Solely working effectively is no longer enough; adaptability to change has become a more sought after requirement in order to drive competitiveness and business longevity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also found that for each of the main categories of Integrated Supplier Management \u2013 <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2021\/06\/integrated-supplier-management-plan-execute-and-adapt\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Plan, Execute, Monitor and Adapt<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 respondents ranged from Semi-Functional to Effective Supplier Management. On average, Planning was about 2% weaker than Execution and about 7% weaker than Monitor and Adapt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These results make us wonder: if an enterprise is good at monitoring and adapting how the business flows but tracks weaker on planning and execution, how efficient is the enterprise? With poor planning and execution, there must be a lot more waste being produced in the business. Improvement of planning and execution processes should yield significant business value as an enterprise becomes truly more adaptable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnostic Results: Strongest Categories<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We found that the strongest categories overall relate to the traditional core <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/what-is-erp\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ERP<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> functions.

Enterprises should evaluate whether they are running their processes in the most efficient way.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diagnostic Results: Weakest Categories<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to our respondents, their weaker categories are those outside of the traditional core ERP functions.

So even for the best scoring area, 69% of respondents consider themselves not at the level of truly integrated supplier management. We see room for improvement in support of building an Adaptive Manufacturing Enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consequences of Low Maturity in Supplier Management<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enterprises with lower maturity in <\/span><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qad.com\/blog\/2021\/06\/integrated-supplier-management-plan-execute-and-adapt\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">supplier management<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> face a variety of consequences.
