Packaged solution
Know where your supply chain and operations can perform better.
A rapid, fact-based supply chain assessment that benchmarks performance, finds the root causes, and shows you the biggest opportunities to improve.
Overview
Supply Chain/Operations Diagnostics
- Most executives sense that their supply chain could perform better. Few have a clear, objective view of where the value is leaking, or why. The Kryus Supply Chain/Operations Diagnostics gives leadership that view, quickly.
- In a focused 4 to 6 week engagement, our senior industry experts run a supply chain assessment that looks at strategy, processes, organizational capabilities, performance metrics, technology, data, governance, and operating practices. We benchmark current performance, identify root causes and capability gaps, and quantify the opportunities to improve service, cost, productivity, inventory, quality, and resilience.
- The engagement ends with an executive-level Performance Opportunity Map and a 12-18 month roadmap that prioritizes quick wins and strategic initiatives by value, effort, risk, and time to impact.
What is a supply chain assessment?
A supply chain assessment is a structured review of how well your supply chain performs and why. It looks at strategy, processes, people, technology, and data, compares results against peers and best practice, and identifies where the biggest improvement opportunities are. Think of it as a supply chain health check backed by numbers.
The Kryus Diagnostic goes a step further. It sizes each opportunity and turns the findings into a roadmap, so leadership can decide what to act on first and what can wait.
What is the difference between a supply chain audit and a supply chain assessment?
A supply chain audit checks whether processes and controls meet a standard, such as a regulation or internal policy. A supply chain assessment asks a broader question: how well the whole supply chain performs and where it could do better. An audit looks for compliance gaps. An assessment looks for performance gaps and value.
How do you measure supply chain performance?
Start with a clear performance baseline across service, cost, inventory, productivity, quality, and resilience. Track a focused set of measures, such as on-time delivery, fill rate, and inventory turns, and review them on a regular rhythm. Good measurement ties each metric to an owner and to a decision.
A short list of well-chosen measures beats a long dashboard nobody reads.
Other common measures include:
- Service: OTIF and service level
- Cost: cost to serve and expedite spend
- Inventory and cash: stockout rates and working capital
- Speed: cycle time from order to delivery

What we assess
A complete view, from strategy to daily practice.
This supply chain and operations assessment covers eight areas. It combines supply chain benchmarking with root cause analysis, so you see not just where performance falls short, but why.
Strategy & operating model
How well your supply chain strategy, network, and operating model support business goals.
Processes & operating practices
An operational assessment of how work really gets done, including S&OP, demand planning, and supplier performance, with every process mapped and benchmarked.
Performance metrics
KPI baselines across service, cost, productivity, inventory, quality, and resilience, plus the supply chain performance management routines that keep them current.
Organization & capabilities
Roles, skills, and organizational capacity, and where they fall short of what the strategy needs.
Technology & data
How well systems and data support planning, decisions, and execution.
Governance
Decision rights, accountability, and the management rhythm that keeps performance on track.
Our approach
How the engagement works.

Supply chain benchmarking compares performance against peers and best practice, and each gap is traced back to its cause.
-
3
Quantify
Opportunity sizing puts a number on each improvement and ranks it by value, effort, risk, and time to impact.
-
4
Roadmap
