Developing the Business Model Evaluation Scorecard and Self-evaluation Simulator Support for Building SCM

面对激烈的竞争和不断变化的环境，人们对物流和供应链管理的兴趣在这些年里呈爆炸性增长。这种兴趣促使许多公司建立了自己的供应链。然而，在大多数情况下，组织约束会干扰他们形成供应链管理(SCM)。为了突破这些限制，各种计分卡应运而生。记分卡是从供应链管理整体优化的角度，对一个人的业务风格、IT利用等几个方面的优劣势进行诊断和评价的一种简化的基准方法。在本研究中，我们首先开发了通用记分卡SCM物流记分卡(LSC)Ver。4.通过测试和验证其有效性和有效性，重复版本升级过程。LSC包括四个基本领域：战略/组织、计划/执行能力、物流绩效和IT实际应用。在此基础上，我们收集了大约150家公司的实际数据，并通过这些数据提取了代表管理绩效和驱动因素的五个因素。并利用相应公司的财务底线指标，分析了这些指标与我们提取的因素之间的相关性。结果表明，LSC得分越高，五个因素的得分越高，财务收益越显著，并利用该结果和数据库开发了自我评价模拟器。在填写LSC后，该模拟器不仅会自动确定和显示公司的相对优势和劣势，从供应链管理的角度显示公司目前工作方法的地位和排名，还会显示与财务业绩相对应的改进重点。事实上，该仿真系统已经投入实际使用，其数据不断更新。

Being exposed to fierce competition and changing circumstances, interest in logistics and supply chain management has grown explosively in these years. This interest has led many companies to build their supply chain. In most cases, however, organizational constraints disturb their formation of supply chain management (SCM). To breakthrough these constraints, various kinds of scorecard have been developed. Scorecard is a simplified benchmark methodology to diagnose and evaluate one's advantages and disadvantages of several aspects, which concerning to their business style, IT utilization and so on, from the point of total optimization of SCM. In this Research, we at first develop the general-purpose scorecard named SCM logistics scorecard (LSC) Ver. 4, after repeating the process of version up through testing and verifying its validity and effectiveness. LSC includes 22 items related to 4 fundamental areas : Strategy/Organization, Planning/Execution Capabilities, Logistics Performance and IT practical use.Based on this LSC, we gather actual data from about 150 companies and extract five factors, which represent managerial performance and those drivers through these data. And using the corresponding companies' financial bottom line indexes, we analyze the correlation between these indexes and our extracting factors. The result shows that higher scores of LSC, which leads to higher scores of five factors, bring significantly positive financial outcomes.Using this results and data base, we then develop self-evaluation simulator. After filling LSC, this simulator will automatically determine and show not only the company's relative strong and weak points, position and rank of one's company's current working methods from an SCM viewpoint but also show the point aimed at improvement corresponding to financial performance. In fact this simulation system has already put into practical use and its data are continuously undated.
