Frequently Ignored Questions (FIQs)

1

How many handoffs happen in your supply chain between a purchase order and a delivered shipment - and how many of them are invisible to you right now?

2

Is it possible for your organisation to have excess stock and stockouts at the

same time — and if so, do you know where right now?

3

What percentage of your procurement spend last quarter would your team describe as fully visible, fully compliant, and fully within contract — and how do you know?

4

Which of your

suppliers is most likely to cause you a

problem in the next 90 days — and what’s

that assessment based on?

5

When a customer calls about a late shipment, how long does it take your team to find out exactly what happened - and at which point in the process it went wrong?

6

If throughput in your warehouse dropped 15% next week, how long would it take your team to identify where in the operation the bottleneck formed?

7

What percentage of your production output last month was lost to scrap or rework — and do you know which line, shift, or material caused the most of it?

8

How confident are

you that every production order running in your facility right now is based on the most current approved version of the item?

9

When your gross

margin moves, do you know — within 48 hours — which cost layer in the supply chain caused it?

If a major customer or investor asked to audit the data behind your supply chain ESG disclosures next month, how ready would your team be — and how would you feel about what they’d find?

11

If the same quality defect has appeared more than once in your supply chain — from a supplier, in production, or in customer returns — do you know about the pattern, or just the individual incidents?

12

The last time a

critical piece of equipment went down unexpectedly — was the data that predicted it already in your system?
