According to the ASCM CTSC Exam Content Manual, one of the first steps in initiating a digital supply chain transformation is to “identify the business drivers and opportunities for transformation, and prioritize them based on their potential impact and feasibility” (p. 15). This helps the company’s leadership to align the transformation objectives with the strategic goals of the organization, and to allocate resources accordingly. The other activities mentioned in the options are also important, but they should be done after the initial identification and prioritization of the areas of the business that can benefit the most from the transformation.

According to the CTSC Exam Content Manual, one of the entry criteria that must be met before initiating a supply chain transformation project is an implementation roadmap1.An implementation roadmap is a document that outlines the scope, objectives, activities, deliverables, milestones, resources, and risks of the transformation project1.An implementation roadmap helps to guide and monitor the execution of the project, as well as to communicate and align the expectations and responsibilities of the stakeholders1. The other options are not entry criteria that must be met before initiating a supply chain transformation project, as they are more related to the outcomes or the actions of the project.Network configuration modifications, information technology (IT) adjustment, and skills and resources changes are examples of the changes that may result from the supply chain transformation project, but they are not prerequisites for starting the project2.

responsive supply-demand matching (RDSM) is the ability to sense demand exceptions, target revenue opportunities and resolve supply challenges through planning of constrained resources and allocation of supply across the network to best meet demand according to the business strategy1.One of the benefits of RDSM is to improve the customer service level by fulfilling the demand on time and in full1.Therefore, one of the supply chain metrics that should be included on the RDSM dashboard is on-time, in-full, which measures the percentage of orders that are delivered to the customers within the agreed time window and with the correct quantity and quality2.

The other options are not suitable for the RDSM dashboard, as they are not directly related to the RDSM objectives or outcomes.Inventory quality ratio is a metric that measures the percentage of inventory that is in good condition and can be sold to the customers3.This metric is more relevant for the inventory optimization phase of the digital transformation, which aims to reduce the inventory costs and risks4.Customer backorder rate is a metric that measures the percentage of orders that are not fulfilled on time due to the lack of inventory5.This metric is more relevant for the demand sensingand shaping phase of the digital transformation, which aims to improve the demand forecasting accuracy and responsiveness6. Sell-through rate is a metric that measures the percentage of inventory that is sold within a given period of time. This metric is more relevant for the omni-channel fulfillment phase of the digital transformation, which aims to optimize the order fulfillment across different channels and locations.
