(d)  MONITORING AND MEASUREMENT

The responsible supply chain will continually ensure the SSA is reviewed and reassessed to determine if changes need to be made to the alliance focus or if additional stakeholders need to be included.

The JSG shall manage (monitor and measure) the performance of the SSA through Supplier Readiness Review metrics. Each DLA SSA corporate contract shall be measured using the following Supplier Readiness Review Metrics:

-  Growth: adding items to the contracts within the SSAs

-  Delivery based on the requirements of the individual contracts.  Metrics should cover stock and DVD as appropriate.

-  Quality

-  Cost reductions and/or price controls through the partnership

-  Back order performance

-  PLT reduction

-  ALT reduction

-  Percent of annual demand for a given supplier covered by the items placed on contract

As business systems modernization and Agency practices mature, measurements are expected to refine and align with the Key Performance Indicators.

1.  Each improvement team briefs progress and results to the JSG

The Executive Committee will manage all Milestones/POA&Ms set by the JSG and the improvement teams.

If at any time, the supplier disengages from SSA efforts, the SRM will immediately inform HQ DLA and all stakeholders of the supplier's position. A stakeholder's focus meeting may be reconvened, as necessary, to terminate the effort or adjust strategy.

2.  JSG provides periodic status to the Executive Committee

Executive Committee meetings are held at the request of the JSG or as requested by the Executive Committee.

3.  Executive committee and JSG reassess goals, objectives and improvement opportunities

4.  JSG reviews measurements and takes action as needed
