Risk Measurement • 265
• A variety of existing and new measures are emerging to help manage
supply chain risk, including value- at- risk, time- to- recovery, and risk
exposure indexes.
• Various KPIs will emerge that support a company’s risk management
eorts, including forecast accuracy, inventory accuracy, the perfect
order, concept- to- customer cycle time, order- to- cash cycle time, and
return on assets. An underlying commonality linking these mea-
sures is that they are superordinate, which means they are higher in
class, rank, or status compared with other measures.
