Abstract

The Quick Scan Audit Methodology (QSAM) is a supply chain business diagnostic. The QSAM has both an Action Learning and a Management Theory stream. The former is concerned with evaluating the operating characteristics and performance of specific value streams. The latter builds on codified data emanating from a sample of QSAM outputs to statistically evaluate any possible contributions to new management theory. During such research other powerful outputs including delineation of best practice and identification of preferred, successful, trajectories for change emerge. Originally developed to suit research needs when studying European Automotive First Tier Suppliers it was also tested on other European value streams. Recent opportunities have arisen to apply QSAM more widely. To date the major contribution from QSAM studies on other continents is restricted to the action learning mode by minimum sample size considerations . The latter will be satisfied in due course. This paper presents the background and modus operandi of the QSAM plus new action learning lessons arising from internationalising the supply chain diagnostic.
