Using the Initial Survey as a guide, the assessment phase focuses on a detailed review of every step in the commerce process. The goal is to identify every aspect of the current process that is in some way contrary to Lean Principles, or a roadblock to implementing best practices. But reviewing the business process is just the start. In concert with this review, the relationships of the process to product and commercial data, and to application automation are an essential component of a comprehensive and meaningful assessment.
eLogic employs Value Stream Analysis as the primary tool for assessing commerce processes against Lean Principles. We have qualified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt consultants to provide guidance, advice, and assessments for all three key areas noted above. Further, we employ our proprietary Commerce Capability Maturity ModelSM to measure and analyze your competencies across 50 key topics. The result is a fact-based, quantified benchmark of your company's current state in all 50 competencies, evaluated across all process steps and all product types. We provide a thorough Gap Analysis report describing your current state for B2B commerce in comparison to industry best practices.
