Problem

Walk me through how you would design a KPI hierarchy for a newly launched global supply chain network.

Explain how you would translate strategic objectives into a focused north-star KPI, supporting outcome metrics, operational driver metrics, and guardrails. Address metric ownership, definitions, calculation consistency across regions, reporting cadence, and how you would prevent teams from optimizing local metrics at the expense of network performance.

  1. Describe the hierarchy and selection criteria.
  2. Define representative KPIs and their formulas.
  3. Explain how you would validate the hierarchy and act on metric movement.

Data available includes shipment events, inventory records, warehouse operations, transportation records, supplier performance, costs, customer commitments, and regional master data.
