Tactical Perspective The tactical perspective should focus on the means by which the strategic objectives can be realised. It involves translating the strategic objectives and policies into complementary goals and objectives for each function to provide balance to the supply chain. The functional goals provide the drivers for achieving the balance and inventory, capacity and service are the levers by which balance is achieved. Additionally, the tactical dimension involves determining the tools, approaches and resources necessary to deliver the "do wells", in particular the most appropriate mix of systems (MRPII, DRP, JIT etc.) necessary to manage the supply chain and provide the information infrastructure. .
