DIAGNOSTIC TOOL

Supply Chain ROCE Diagnostic

Identify the gaps weakening inventory performance, decision quality, and ROCE.

Many organizations know they have issues across inventory, service, planning, or cross-functional alignment. Fewer can clearly identify which parts of the current operating setup are weakening business performance, where decision quality is breaking down, and which improvements should come first.

The Supply Chain ROCE Diagnostic assesses your supply chain inventory management environment, identifies the gaps that matter most, and provides a clearer path toward stronger control, better alignment, and improved business performance.

What the Diagnostic Assesses

Built for organizations that know performance is being weakened but need clearer diagnostic logic.

Limited visibility into which inventory management issues are having the greatest business impact
Weak connection between supply chain decisions and ROCE, working capital, and operating performance
Siloed diagnosis across supply chain, operations, and finance
Unclear improvement priorities across process, capability, and decision support
Limited external perspective on how current performance compares with peers

What the Diagnostic Improves

The diagnostic is designed to improve clarity before change is prioritized.

Decision clarity

See more clearly where the current setup is weakening performance and where decision quality is being compromised.

Improvement prioritization

Focus attention on the gaps most likely to improve ROCE, inventory discipline, and business alignment.

Cross-functional visibility

Create a shared view across supply chain, operations, and finance rather than diagnosing issues in isolation.

Business case logic

Strengthen the rationale for capability, process, operating-model, or technology changes by linking them to clearer business impact.

What's Included in the Diagnostic

A practical assessment designed to clarify where improvement should start

Assessment of your current supply chain inventory management setup
Evaluation of how well the current environment supports stronger ROCE performance
Identification of the key gaps weakening decision quality, control, and alignment
Prioritized improvement areas based on likely business impact
Improvement pathway recommendations to guide next steps
Benchmarking against broader company patterns and industry context where relevant

How the Diagnostic Works

The diagnostic follows a structured path from assessment to prioritization.

Assess

Review the current operating setup, inventory management approach, and decision environment.

Diagnose

Identify the specific gaps that are weakening decision quality, cross-functional alignment, and ROCE performance.

Benchmark

Compare the current position against broader peer patterns and relevant industry context.

Prioritize

Outline the next steps most likely to improve control, inventory discipline, and business performance.

Who the Diagnostic Is For

Designed for leaders who need a clearer view of where supply chain performance is being weakened.

Enterprise supply chain leaders

Leaders who need a clearer view of the decision gaps affecting inventory, service, control, and business performance.

Operations and planning leaders

Teams responsible for execution and planning who need more clarity on where process and decision breakdowns are occurring.

CFOs and finance stakeholders

Leaders focused on working capital, inventory exposure, cost discipline, and the financial logic behind operational improvement.

Organizations preparing for capability or AI investment

Teams that want to understand the decision problem more clearly before investing in broader operating or technology changes.

Teams that need a clearer improvement roadmap

Organizations that know change is needed but need a more structured way to prioritize where to act first.

Why This Diagnostic Approach

The strongest supply chain improvements usually do not start with tools alone. They start with a clearer view of where decisions are breaking down, which tradeoffs are being handled poorly, and how those issues are affecting inventory, service, cost, and return on capital.

This diagnostic is built around that principle. It is designed to help organizations move from general concern to clearer diagnosis, better prioritization, and more business-aligned next steps.

Cross-functional visibility
Better decision support
Reduced decision latency
Stronger inventory discipline
Clearer finance impact

Built on practical supply chain operating experience and the Glass Cockpit approach to decision clarity, control, and alignment.
