Standards Website

AHRMM Initiative: Benchmarking

www.scmetrix.org

Why Do We Need SCMetrix™?  Industry-accepted benchmarks  Center on financial metrics – no “line of sight” on specific actions for improvement  Provide little insight on what actually contributes to performance  Focus on acquisition prices rather than total delivered supply costs  Few allow comparison of performance outside of GPOs

 Need statistical evidence  Investments do reduce costs  Investments do improve other value drivers
