LEGACY Supply Chain Services Launches Grader Tool and eBook to Evaluate Supply Chain Performance

July 20, 2015, Portsmouth, NH – LEGACY Supply Chain Services, a North American 3PL, announces the release of an innovative grader tool designed to help companies evaluate their own supply chain performance, and identify opportunities for improvement.

The Supply Chain Performance Grader: Instant View™ allows businesses to evaluate over 25 aspects of the supply chain, grouped within six supply chain disciplines – supply chain visibility, mapping & visualization, risk management, supply chain design, business intelligence, and talent retention & workplace culture development.

Mastering the six fundamental supply chain disciplines discussed in the eBook, along with establishing truly collaborative relationships with suppliers and third-party logistics (3PL) partners, will enable retailers to innovate and drive continuous improvement across their supply chains, and also pave the way to achieving profitable growth.”
