A PRACTICAL TOOL FOR SUPPLY CHAIN IMPROVEMENT-EXPERIENCES WITH THE SUPPLY CHAIN MATURITY ASSESSMENT TEST ( SCMAT )

This paper outlines the need for a quick assessment tool for mapping the maturity of a company’s supply chain operations, and presents the Supply Chain Maturity Assessment Test (SCMAT) as a potential answer to this need. Experiences the researchers have gained in the development of SCMAT are summed up as strengths and weaknesses with the test. Guidelines for test and analysis procedure are presented, and a research agenda for further development is proposed.
