The time dimension output is of critical as it relates to the
cycle time performance of the system. The major Thai
company still outperforms the SME group average, apart for
the material handling and packing cycle time but this cycle
time is not critical when analysing total supply chain
responsiveness. The average order cycle time, the delivery
cycle time, the inventory cycle time, and inventory days are a
more robust representation of the time dimension in supply
chain performance.
