Every organization wants to deliver superior customer experiences, but quantitative measurements of the overall
process of taking and delivering to customer demand have been hard to come by. Not anymore. The ACES model allows
organizations to review performance the way customers experience it so they can accelerate the kinds of improvements
that earn customer loyalty. It provides a framework for rigorous examination of ongoing operations and indentifies
where to drill down to find the root causes of performance strengths and shortfalls.
It views performance through three lenses:
• The Customer lens - measures performance of the business processes customer use up to the point where an order is placed. It also measures performance when orders go wrong and customers require additional services, such as a product return.
• The Fulfillment lens - measures business processes from the instant an order is placed until it is delivered to the location the customer designates. It measures the total time customers wait to receive products ordered and your total fulfillment costs.
• The IT lens - measures how effectively enterprise applications support your order taking and fulfillment objectives. IT is a necessary enabler of today's commerce and it requires rigorous measurement also. Information latency and visibility are huge contributors to business performance and customer experiences and require ongoing measurement.
