Task 4 Develop the To-Be Process

This task consists of a series of facilitated meetings with all teams participating. They usually involve three steps presentation of the greenfield, several discussion sessions, and a final decision on the to-be. The SC should approve the to-be. It will incorporate the tradeoffs to create a plan that the organization is prepared to implement. Organization in this context is at the appropriate level — function, business unit, or supply chain. 

The to-be version may be close to the greenfield if the teams find few obstacles to its implementation. This occurs in the trade-off phase. The team must balance the cost of each change represented by the greenfield against the benefits provided. In some cases, the to-be version will be closer to the as-is. This implies slow going in approaching the greenfield.
