Improving Supply Networks : Identifying drivers for sustainable change using process models

• Both within the private and public sector Change Management is a frequently discussed topic. How to lead change for increased sustainability is of interest for all organisations, but also for supply chains and supply networks. For any structured change process there are a few prerequisites, such as understanding the actual position and being able to assess it and to compare it with a goal. With an identified improvement potential it should become possible to devise a strategy for change. One way of describing supply networks is to use process based system models including performance indicators. The research question is if system models can be used to clarify improvement opportunities and in that way become drivers for change. In this conceptual paper we apply the value per harm measurement concept for three different systems and compare the results with what is commonly known and understood.
