    The evolution of priorities and working capital applied to a supply chain is typically based on a metric that points to a rationale of needed change. To achieve this an organization has the purpose to discover where to focus energy to get desired outcomes to meet business goals. The purpose of the Supply Chain Total Cost to Serve (SCTCS) formula is to lay the groundwork for high level direction. In this article, we will cover the idea and basis of what is SCTCS, some useful applications of the formula and how to manage SCTCS as a metric within your organization.

    Total Supply Chain Cost to Serve – Includes all the transactional costs associated to the supply chain process, after the sale of goods is complete.

    See article for the various categories of calculating your total cost to serve.
