As-is situation

At this stage, the design team shifts from collecting information about the as-is situation to evaluating it. There are many techniques for evaluation. Several are discussed as techniques for performing other tasks. These include ... 

Moreover, to reveal the possible improvement potentials of the prevailing supply chain, a supply chain assessment based on a gap analysis and a selfbenchmarking based on adequate key performance indicators (KPIs) is conducted. The gap analysis as a strategic factor results from the deduced TO-BE configuration compared to the AS-IS situation of the supply chain. Just like the gap... 

SCD Phase 2 focuses on the analysis of the AS-IS situation by gathering structured information about the current configuration of the supply chain. 

SCD Phase 3 includes the aforementioned gap analysis which results from the comparison of the TO-BE and the AS-IS states of the supply chain recorded in the previous two phases in order to identify areas requiring optimization. This comparison is achieved by filling the results from SCD Phase 1 as well as from SCD Phase 2 into a morphological box. This allows for a clear illustration of the deficit arising from the comparison of the TO-BE and AS-IS situation. Based on the analysis of the strategic and operative gap and a KPI benchmarking, suitable corrective actions to all supply chain processes, if necessary, are selected. 

In order to be able to determine the corresponding level of project management maturity the cell in a row describing best the AS-IS situation of project... 

The goal of Phase 2 is to give a guideline to analyze the AS-IS situation of a company. Thereby different measures are used in order to determine the current situation of a company. 

Completely filled in morphological box for supply chain AS-IS situation... 

In SCD-Phase 2, the supply chain AS-IS situation is described for a later comparison of the current state to the TO-BE state in SCD-Phase 3. The morphological box is an efifective way of highlighting the AS-IS situation of a company state of the supply chain. 

For overcoming the deviations that are recognized in the different modules, the corrective actions listed in this document can be used. An alternative option for realizing need for action is the validation of adequate KPIs. Since a difference between AS-IS and TO-BE states is always assumed in this document, the AS-IS situation is only specified in select cases, when it adds to the matter s understanding. Situations where TO-BE corresponds to AS-IS and thus no need for action is identified are disregarded.
