Supply Chain Capabilities Model

A comprehensive, industry-agnostic capability map for the Supply Chain function, covering 230+ business capabilities organized across three hierarchical levels. Use it to evaluate functional maturity, plan capability investments, and align technology to business needs.

Why a capability model, not a prompt

Supply chain capability spans plan, source, make, and deliver, and a generic AI prompt tends to swing to one of two failure modes: generic enough to miss real operational nuance, or overloaded with whatever's topical (reshoring, resilience, the latest disruption headline) instead of the durable underlying capabilities. "Demand Planning" and "Supplier Risk Management" have been core capabilities for decades; which geopolitical event is driving the headlines this year hasn't changed that.

What's Inside

• Capability Map — 230+ capabilities across Level 1 (strategic), Level 2 (tactical), and Level 3 (operational), in PowerPoint, Word, and Excel
• Capability Definitions — Clear descriptions at the most granular level for consistent interpretation
• Capability KPIs — Measurable indicators at Level 2 to assess maturity and performance

How Teams Use It

• Baseline current-state maturity and pinpoint capability gaps before a supply chain platform consolidation or S&OP redesign
• Scope supply chain technology RFPs against actual capabilities instead of a vendor's module list
• Give supply chain, procurement, and IT a shared vocabulary across plan/source/make/deliver
• Prioritize resilience and automation investment by capability gap, not by the latest disruption in the news

Who It's For

Enterprise architects, business architects, supply chain and operations leaders, and technology strategists evaluating supply chain platforms.
