Abstract: A method for estimating a new content level in service agreements comprises defining a plurality of service requirement options associated with supply chain management processes and establishing a weight factor for each service requirement option. The service requirement options are provided to an interactive interface that allows a user to select one or more service requirement options to include in a desired supply chain management process. A plurality of user-selected service requirement options associated with the desired supply chain management process is received from the interactive interface. A new content level associated with the desired supply chain management process is determined and provided to one or more service requirement subscribers.

Abstract: A method for implementing a new logistics program includes executing a plurality of start-up model phases for the new logistics program, the start-up phases including at least a program development phase, a pilot phase, a go-live phase, and a transition phase. During the program development phase, logistics processes are selected, for the pilot, go-live, and transition phases, to be reviewed during each respective phase. Furthermore, a communication plan is selected to execute between a program developer entity and a program client entity during each respective phase. The new logistics program is piloted during the pilot phase, according to the processes and the communication plan selected for the pilot phase, operated in real-time during the go-live phase, according to the processes and the communication plan selected for the go-live phase, and transitioned to self-sufficient operation during the transition phase, according to the processes and communication plan selected for the transition phase.
