Trust Scores and Behavioral Insights
Enhance supply chain trust and predictability by leveraging Unity Central Trust Scores to forecast outcomes, make data-backed decisions, and drive optimization and supply chain maturity initiatives.
Continuously Monitor Supply Chain Trust and Performance
Unity Central’s Trust engine monitors all supply chain flows and calculates a trust score when it detects anomalies, such as unexpected delays, skipped steps, or bursts of emails indicating chaos.
This score reflects the trustworthiness and predictability of users, departments, organizations, processes, systems, and specific activities in the supply chain.
Supply Chain Trust and Behavioral Calculation
Means and Ends Steps
Unity Central monitors the on-time completion of each step in the Flow chain owned by a specific entity as either an End step (initiation and End Goals) or a Means step (a critical step to deliver the End step). The highest trust score is achieved when all End and Means steps are completed on time. The score degrades progressively when End steps are done on time but Means steps are not, and so forth.
Noise
Unity Central monitors the number of unplanned emails, chats, and documents for a flow and calculates its signal-to-noise ratio.
Process Trust score
Unity Central calculates a score for each step, each flow, each family of flows, and the whole system in general.
Organizational Trust Score
Unity Central calculates a score for each user, department, and organization, aggregated from the process trust scores.
Predictive Outcomes
Unity Central predicts the expected outcome of a step and flow based on the trust score to provide an early awareness of supply chain issues.
Parallelization and Serialization Opportunities
Supply Chain Optimization
Unity Central recommends the most optimal pathway based on the trust of the partners, processes, and people involved in achieving that goal.
Vendor Performance Improvements
Identify underperforming or overperforming partners, pinpoint areas of improvement or opportunities to learn from a partner and replicate successful practices.
Trust Score Improvement/Drops
Receive alerts when vendors, systems, or processes show a drop or rise in their trust scores or when the trust score of a flow is lower than its peers in the same family. This information is crucial for supply chain decision-making.
