3 Research focus Decision and risk analysis Relevant topics to General Mills Supplier selection Contamination in agriculture supply chains Supply chain disruptions and resilience 3

4 Supplier selection STEP 1: Form objectives hierarchy with KPIs derived from the SCOR metrics STEP 2: Form value functions STEP 3: Assess trade-off weights STEP 4: Develop overall measure STEP 5: Perform cost-effectiveness analysis 4

5 Objectives hierarchy: What do you care about? Maximize supplier effectiveness Max reliability On-time deliveries Capability compatibility On-quantity deliveries Perfect condition Documentation accuracy Max responsiveness Order fulfillment SCAR resolution time Max agility Upside adaptability Upside flexibility Downside adaptability Max asset management Cash-tocash cycle time Return on supply chain fixed assets 5
