6. No standard prioritization process exists
Which initiatives and capabilities provide the most value to the
business?
What is the process that can make the capability adoption faster?
How to define a proper adoption schedule without knowing the
interdependencies between capabilities?

Scenarios
What is the most efficient and effective path to complete the SCT
journey?
The ERP initiative has been prioritized, therefore what capabilities
are needed before launch ERP?
If a BU already has SBP and FPC fully capable, how does that
change the remaining adoption schedule?
7. Project description
Assemble “all” SC capabilities and enablers
necessary to drive CBU SC transformation journey
Associate required successors/predecessors for
each capability
Design a process to define the optimal SCT
capability adoption plan (a) governed by
interdependencies between capabilities (b)
governed by ERP prioritization

Project steps – Finding interdependencies
13. Project steps – Developing a model
Algorithm defined to…
Compare capabilities
within each SCT
initiative to define
interdependencies
Identify sequence of
adoption which
enables subsequent
capabilities to be
adopted fastest
Display the sequence
of prioritized events
13
1- Calculate Predecessors,
Successors, and SCORE
2- Gather capabilities with 0
Predecessors
3- Select the capabilities with the
highest SCORE
4- Sort the capabilities
5- Prioritize the capability
6- Start on Step 1 again
SCORE is the total number of capabilities
enabled until the end of a path
CPT – Capability Prioritization Tool
14. CBU SCT Adoption Schedule
14
• Schedules currently defined by each BU may not fully reflect the
interdependencies of capabilities within each SCT initiative
• Considered the problem from 3 perspectives;
1. An adoption schedule defined by the interdependencies between capabilities
2. An adoption schedule defined by a requirement to deliver a specific initiative (e.g. ERP)
3. An adoption schedule defined by existing, already established, SCT capabilities
• Without leveraging interdependencies of
capabilities between SCT initiatives a sub-
optimal transformation schedule is likely
15. CPT, detailed tool objectives
15
1- SCT optimal sequence 2- Initiative prioritized sequence 3- Sequence by existing capability
Sequence for the entire
SCT governed entirely by
interdependencies
between capabilities
Ensure the most efficient
and effective adoption of
all SCT capabilities
Sequence of SCT
capability adoption to
ensure a specific initiative
is prioritized (e.g. ERP)
Represents a constrained
capability adoption
prioritization
For example, assume FPC
and SBP are fully capable in
BU
New SCT capability adoption
schedule defined based
upon already established
SCT capabilities
Unconstrained adoption schedule
Adoption schedule assuming
prioritization of ERP
Adoption schedule assuming established
capability in one or more SCT initiatives
18. 18
Third priority capabilities
Second priority capabilities
First priority capabilities
1- What is the most efficient and effective path to
complete the SCT?
19. 19
When analyzing the
most efficient and
effective path to
complete the SCT it
is possible to check
the dependencies
and prioritize a
specific capability
20. 2- The ERP initiative has been prioritized, therefore
what capabilities do I need before I launch ERP?
20
21. 3- If a BU already has SBP and FPC fully capable,
how does that change the remaining adoption
schedule?
21
23. Project benefits
Leverages synergies between capabilities
Accelerates the adoption, prioritizing the capabilities
that have the most number of successors
Provides a standardized process for the BUs to
define an adoption sequence
Allows more mature BUs to know where they are on
the journey
Provides a risk assessment 23
24. Recommendation and lessons learned
Base the adoption schedules on the Capability
Prioritization Tool
SC leaders to review the interdependencies and re-
run the tool often
Workshops (e.g. ERP) are important to gather
different views from functional leaders and establish
stronger interdependencies
The path provided by this tool is not definitive
24
25. Future projects
Once BUs are more mature, evaluate the
implementation of different variables to the
capabilities (e.g. Time to complete a certain
capability, apply a weight for each capability, put a $
value for each one)
Access Data Base & MS Project
Implement a control to check how much of the
journey was completed in each point in time

Editor's Notes
I believe almost all of us already had some contact with some of the SC initiatives
My project is focused on the 12 initiatives and ERP, FE
To make the SCT to happen it is necessary to build capabilities
As we know, the Business leaders and the BUs defined the capabilities needed
Also, each BU created an adoption schedule and already started the journey
FPC and SBP brings demand process alive
Other capabilities and enablers need a certain level of others.
Does FPC or SBP depend on other capabilities or initiatives? Where to start?
How to put a $ value on capabilities such as SBP, FPC etc
How to value one attribute over another? (Flexibility, Agility, responsiveness, adaptability)
Sequence of adoption which enables subsequent capabilities to be adopted fastest
1- Or in other words, gather all the capabilities for SCT with the business leaders (All the capabilities that are defined by the 12 initiatives, ERP and FE)
2- Or in other words, define successors is basically what a certain capability is enabling and the predecessors is what a certain capability needs to be enabled. Some doesn’t have pred or succ
3- What is the best sequence of adoption?
After I complete ERP, what is lacking to complete the SCT?
1- Acquire a basic understanding about initiatives and capabilities
2- Collect the capabilities, enablers and initiatives with business leaders
3- Sit down with the leaders and detect the interdependencies together. I started with my own knowledge and then we went to the business leaders.
4- Develop the tool, algorithm, model to provide the prioritization tool
FPC/SBP:
Consolidate and optimize information and decisions at a global level.
Cross functional agreement on demand and supply; one set of numbers by which to run the business
Accurate planning of capacity ahead of demand
Improvement in On Time Delivery
Improved financial performance through increased efficiency, elimination of waste in inventory, capacity utilization overtime, premium freight, and alignment of the extended supply chain; and
Clarity of ownership of process and decisions at the appropriate level of the organization
Formalized communication channels within the organization
Data based decisions
It will give more reliable data to the business to support decision making
Gathered the list capabilities and enablers from most of the functional leaders and initiative’s owners
Came up with a huge list of capabilities
SCT journey is challenging. We need a lot of capabilities to drive this change and there are lot of interdependencies between them
With all the capabilities we need, the question is, where should we start the Journey?
After we select a starting point, what should/can come next?
Got back to business leaders to start defining the interdependencies between the capabilities – ERP workshop
After gathering “all” the capabilities from the business leaders we came back to them to start establishing links between the initiatives’ capabilities
We are looking to some initiatives here and these are composed by a set of capabilities
Here we have links between Initiatives in this example, HSE (Health and Safety Environment) is a enabler (predecessor) for FPC (Foundation of Planning and Control)
There is an interdependency between them but it doesn’t mean we need everything from HSE to be capable in FPC
Example: ERP provides an integrated view of core business processes. To have this integrated view it is needed parts of FPC, SBP, HSE, OE, and etc.
Put definitions and explanations about some initiatives:
FPC: Balances supply and demand in a 12 weeks horizon.
SBP: Process that it is used to execute business strategy. Balances supply and demand using a 24 months horizon.
ERP: Provides an integrated view of core business processes, often in real-time, using common databases. ERP systems track business resources—cash, raw materials, production capacity—and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll.
The SC leadership team has a desired adoption schedule
1- The tool allows the creation of relationships between capabilities (predecessor and successors)
2- We are focusing on the capabilities that enable more capabilities
3- Provides a guide to the BUs
4- Each BU can check where they are on the journey and check what is lacking to be fully capable
5- Risk Assessment: With this tool we are providing a process that gives the ability to say how much risk are we driving if we don’t follow the sequence of events.
1- Will make sure all the predecessor capabilities and basic levels were established to leverage the synergies
2- The has a manual and it is very straightforward to add and remove interdependencies
3- Workshops like the one we had for ERP implementation are important to establish detail interdependencies between capabilities and increase the accuracy of the tool
4- This is not a perfect path, there are different ways to find a best path or critical path for projects
1- Those variables are hard to implement or hard to have but this can certainly influence the prioritization sequence.
2- If the number of capabilities grow it would worth it to implement a relational database to build the relationships and facilitate the queries
3- Depending on the variables implemented MS project could also be used to trace critical paths for parts of the journey

How to say “when” without a prioritization process?
How to choose what to do first in a BU?
What can guide you through the adoption schedule?
If we decide to prioritize ERP what are the capabilities I need?
After I implement ERP, what do I still need to complete the Journey? What are the next steps?
