2. Texts uneven in length and precision
All descriptions were written for this release, but not to one measure: the longest process text is more than three times the shortest. Words per description, by kind of element:
| Kind | Texts | Shortest | Typical | Longest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Processes | 270 | 84 | 161 | 273 |
| Business objects | 174 | 40 | 65 | 92 |
| Performance measures | 90 | 48 | 76 | 111 |
| Capabilities | 41 | 111 | 149 | 242 |
| Areas and groups | 27 | 61 | 81 | 216 |
| Value streams | 9 | 65 | 68 | 81 |
| Actors | 4 | 89 | 90 | 90 |
3. Capabilities without processes
13 of 41 capabilities have no processes yet, so you cannot go further down from them:
- Align Network
- Align Processes
- Align Resources
- Align Strategy
- Assist with Claim
- Contract Custom Solution
- Plan Deliver
- Plan Source
- Plan Supply Chain Operations
- Source Returns
- Source-to-Engineering-Order
- Source-to-Order
- Source-to-Replenish
4. Missing links
- 15 of 41 capabilities exchange nothing with the processes of
another capability, so they stand alone on the map:
- Align Network
- Align Processes
- Align Resources
- Align Strategy
- Assist with Claim
- Contract Custom Solution
- Manage Compliance
- Manage Sustainability
- Plan Deliver
- Plan Source
- Plan Supply Chain Operations
- Source Returns
- Source-to-Engineering-Order
- Source-to-Order
- Source-to-Replenish
- 5 of 9 value streams are hollow: nothing in the model is linked to them yet:
- Acquire-to-Retire
- Hire-to-Retire
- Plan-to-Move
- Procure-to-Pay
- Record-to-Report
- 25 elements exist in the model but appear on no diagram:
- 3PL
- Adaptability
- Asset Efficiency
- Business Objects
- Business Rules
- Buyer
- Carrier
- Cost
- Customer Forecast
- Delivery Slot
- Dependability
- Execution Data
- Key Risk
- Material

- Responsiveness
- Routed Shipment
- Sales Plan
