The operative path provides that based on an organization s competitive priorities adequate key performance indicators (KPIs) are selected. Decision makers can use these KPIs to conduct a self-benchmarking of their... 

The next step following the definition of the most important supply chain management goals is the identification of appropriate corrective actions. The framework provides a long list of corrective actions as the main tool for this identification. Since the process toward the corrective actions differs slightly between the strategic path and the operative path, the two will be explained separately. 

To illustrate the entire procedure of SCD-Phase 4 and 5, this section presents an example application of all four steps. For the sake of simplification, only the strategic path via the gap analysis is explained.
