THE SUPPLY CHAIN 
STRENGTHENING PATHWAY

An assessment is only valuable if it changes what happens next. BW Alliance applies proven diagnostic tools like the GHMM and SCORMark® — grounded in the globally adopted SCOR framework — not as reports, but as a platform for transformation

FROM DIAGNOSIS TO SUSTAINABLE IMPROVEMENT

An assessment is only valuable if it changes what happens next. That's why BW Alliance applies proven diagnostic tools like the GHMM and SCORMark® — grounded in the globally adopted SCOR framework — not as reports, but as a platform for transformation.

Building blocks can be undertaken individually or sequenced together, depending on your organization's needs and resources.

THREE PHASES. ONE TRAJECTORY

PHASE 01

DIAGNOSE

See the system clearly.

Establish an evidence-based picture of the current state: how the system is performing, where it is failing, and why.

PHASE 02

DESIGN

Plan the way forward.

Convert diagnostic findings into actionable plans — ensuring the right people are equipped and prioritized initiatives are sequenced for delivery.

PHASE 03

TRANSFORM

Build a self-sustaining system.

Advance toward an appropriately integrated future state — addressing structural fragmentation and defining the strategic vision.

PHASE 01

DIAGNOSE

See the system clearly

The Diagnose phase establishes an evidence-based picture of the current state: how the system is performing, where it is failing, and why.

01

Supply Chain Maturity Evaluation

Where does our supply chain stand today?

In a five-day on-site workshop, advisors map the supply chain end-to-end using diagnostic tools like the GHMM and SCORMark® — scoring maturity across every core process and adjacent capability, and benchmarking performance against industry standards.

DELIVERABLE

Maturity scorecard, visual dashboard, and improvement roadmap.

02

Process Gap Analysis & Systems Improvement

Where are the biggest process and system gaps?

Working across each supply chain process and supporting system, advisors surface the operational gaps driving low performance — and translate them into a prioritized set of targeted recommendations, each mapped to a measurable improvement.

DELIVERABLE

Prioritized improvement opportunities with targeted recommendations.

03

Are we measuring what matters with reliable data?

Advisors examine the full KPI ecosystem: which indicators are defined, whether data is reliable and decision-ready, and whether the right information reaches the right decision-makers at the right time.

DELIVERABLE

Gap analysis of supply chain performance metrics with alignment recommendations.

Performance Metrics Analysis

04

Do our people have the skills our system requires?

Delivered online, this assessment maps the competencies of supply chain personnel against what their roles actually require — identifying the precise skills gaps holding the team back.

DELIVERABLE

Workforce skills gap analysis and targeted capacity-building plan.

Workforce Skills Assessment

05

How do we sequence and deliver prioritized initiatives?

Advisors work with stakeholders across the organization to translate findings into a concrete project portfolio: milestones defined, responsibilities assigned, timelines agreed. Change becomes manageable, measurable, and owned.

DELIVERABLE

Supply Chain Transformation Roadmap, prioritized by impact and effort.

Implementation Roadmap

PHASE 02

DESIGN

Plan the way forward

The Design phase converts diagnostic findings into actionable plans — ensuring the right people are equipped to operate the system, and that prioritized initiatives are sequenced and resourced for delivery.

PHASE 03

TRANSFORM

Build an integrated, self-sustaining system

The Transform phase advances the supply chain toward an appropriately integrated future state — addressing structural fragmentation and defining the strategic vision for a resilient, sustainable supply chain.

06

How do we move from fragmented to one cohesive system?

Supply Chain Integration & Transformation

Multiple product lines, regions, or programs — each running its own planning processes, information systems, warehouses, and transportation networks, often serving the same customers. Advisors map synergies across the network and chart a phased, practical path toward appropriate integration and segmentation — unlocking efficiency, resilience, and cost savings.

DELIVERABLE

Strategic recommendations and integration roadmap toward an appropriately integrated and segmented supply chain.

07

What should our supply chain look like in 5–10 years?

Through a structured process with leadership and stakeholders, advisors define a future-state supply chain model — where the system needs to go, what it needs to do, and how to close the gap between today and tomorrow.

DELIVERABLE

Future-State Supply Chain Strategy with priority initiatives and a sustainable path forward.

Future-State Strategy Design

Co-authorship of the standards

BW Alliance's founder co-authored the GHMM and the SCOR Digital Standard — the frameworks at the heart of every assessment.

01

Proven across sectors

Our team has led maturity assessments and supply chain strengthening engagements across energy, consumer goods, manufacturing, and public health — from multinational corporations to government programs, on three continents.

02

Aligned with global standards

We work hand-in-hand with ASCM to ensure every engagement reflects the latest global standards — delivered in English, Portuguese, Spanish, or French.

03

Built for ownership

Every engagement is designed to strengthen your organization's own capability — not create dependence — so improvements last long after the engagement ends.

04
