Customary POP Deficiencies Weaken Their Value

Many business executives see promise in customary Perfect Order Programs (POP) and understand the correlation of such programs with superior profit margins, earnings-per-share and return-on-investment, but few are realizing the value touted by the top-of-mind press rhetoric. Yet, business executives need deeper and broader operational performance insight than the current state-of-the-art of customary POP is able to provide. These deficiencies and shortcomings include:

No Strategy and Operations Alignment Measures

No Profitability Measures

No Exception Handling Cost Measures

No Diagnostic Measures

No Deep Data Granularity

No Trading Partner Collaboration

In addition, customary POP lack the ability for business executives to model perfect order performance. They lack the ability to independently weight key performance indicators to more accurately reflect or align strategic intention with operational processes. Customary POP do not allow business executives the ability to segment their trading partners or products to identify those who are the most profitable, or to perform root cause analysis or to provide special treatment. Nor are customary POP inexpensive and quick to implement. For most business executives, the deficiencies of customary POP render them less valuable and more difficult to justify.
