Since our SCFCAP team come from world class global corporations and banks,
we are sensitive to the importance of measuring outcomes in ways that are
recognizable and are the basis of executive bonus awards in corporate financial
organizations. For example,
a. Required working capital 'SCFCAP Best Practice Scorecard' is measured
using the traditional metrics of DSO, DPO, and DIO (Days Inventory Outstanding).
b. Earnings improvement 'SCFCAP Best Practices Scorecard' measures earnings
improvement resulting from taking advantage of traditional EPDs (early payment discounts)
and volume rebates (captured through higher velocity of trade) available from suppliers
at multiple tiers of the supply chain.
c. Treasury and Procurement Management 'SCFCAP Best Practices Scorecard'
measures both the working capital improvement and earnings improvement through
utilizing best practices in treasury and procurement.
