Various Supply Chain Metrics:

Inventory Months of Supply:
 Inventory On Hand / Avg Monthly Usage
(the Avg Monthly Usage is typically the yearly forecast divided by12)

Inventory Rationalization:
An analysis that categorizes your inventory by various categories. Examples-
- Current Inventory levels of A,B,C products
- Inventory turns of A,B,C
- Value of Slow Moving product (those products you may have more than "x" number of weeks worth)

Material Value Add.
- Sell price minus material cost divided by material cost.

Upside Flexibility:
 The ability of a manufacturer to meet additional demand requirements. This is usually compared as a percentage over the original order. This is protection for the buyer. It allows for the actual demand to be higher than the forecasted quantity.
