			<div id="Level4">
			=='''Level 4''': '''''Supply Chain'''''==
			If an organization is at MINCE '''Level 4''', ''Supply Chain'', it also interacts with suppliers and customers in the chain. Such an organization will, in addition to having full control over their own, internal activities, processes and systems, also interact with other entities in the market.

			In the relationship with the suppliers in the chain, the organization will make sure these suppliers also benefit from the positive effects of co-operation. There will be some give and some take. Co-operating will in the long run always turn out beneficial to both supplier and the buyer.

			The same applies to the customers in the chain. The organization will make sure customers appreciate the added value they are offering. The customer organization maturity is one of the [[Towers]] influencing your own rating.

			New suppliers and new customers will be drawn to Level 4 rated organizations because you simply can't ignore their presence in the market. At this level an organization opens up with regard to their competitors since they appreciate each player in a market segment will have its own strengths to offer – and they are very well aware of their own.

			Purchases as well as sales are handled coherently with a focus on the long-term relationship. This implies the organization will from time to time knowingly accept lesser results: Granting (part of) a deal to another company, accepting purchases at a higher price, letting go of an opportunity because they are not ready for it.

			Our organization challenges our suppliers as well as our customers to co-operate in order to increase the quality of the chain. We are nog yet setting the trend in our market segment, but we being taken into account by anyone out there.

			This organization is an example to others because of the accuracy with which we are able to adjust our products to changing environmental conditions.

			<div id="Level5">
			=='''Level 5''': '''''Quality'''''==
			In the top MINCE '''Level 3''', an organization is setting the trends. This type of organization is publishing and explaining about the way they see future events in their category of activities. Other organizations will read this material, appreciate its intrinsic value and follow suit.

			Suppliers in the chain will recognize the importance and they will explore the degree to which they will be able to adjust their own process in order to better connect to what the Level 5 organization is stating to be their next set goal.

			Customers in the chain will take notice of the trend and start experimenting with the novel developments this Level 5 organization is predicting. They migt turn to the source of such a development, but obviously other organizations will also follow the trail and these competitors will also gain some of the benefits.

			The organization at this level will constantly check, double check and improve all of its activities and the way it interacts with its environment. Requesting an external expert opinion is so well accepted, that there is hardly any discussion about that. Giving such an expert opinion following an innovation from other organizations is normal practice.

			Having the capacity to make a change in any direction is one of the most important virtues of any organization at this highest MINCE Level. Accordingly an oil company may (as an example) perfectly well turn into an ICT service provider within a year or so.

			The speed at which this type of organization will be setting the trend or adapting to new opportunities in the (niche) markets is their main accomplishment. The MINCE maturity is at its maximum.

			<div id="Level3">
			=='''Level 3''': '''''Systems'''''==
			An organization operating at '''Level 3''', the ''Systems''-Level, has the activities and processes in place and, on top of that, has developed a set of standard means to be used. In addition a feedback loop is in place, so that the processes and the means are continuously updated and improved.

			From the employees point of view at this level they will also have the means at their disposal to produce optimized results. Because these means are subject to continuous improvements, the workers will benefit from their organization investing in both processes and systems.

			New employees will need to be able to deal with such systems, as these will nog be common to all the work force that are active in the market segment. Anyone entering the organization will have to bring along a certain amount of experience to be able to adopt the systems. Experiences are shared between collegues, partly as a result of their own efforts and partly because their employer supports this knowledge spreading.

			If an employee leaves, this is not a complete surprise and it is regarded a natural step in relation to his personal development. Such an employee is not considered an enemy, all of a sudden, but rather experienced as an appreciated friend with unchanged value. Newcomers will have to swiftly fit in the environment or they will be replaced.

			Procurement is handled by the organization in a coherent manner, involving the personal experiences of groups of employees. The aim is to get the organization the most attractive deals. There is no exchange of benefits between the organization and its customers or suppliers in place yet.

			The employees are well acquinted with the ways (activities, process and systems) used by our organization in order to achieve predefined goals. The organization competes with others in the market segment. Our sales staff struggles to get the attention of our customers. Our purchasers challenge our suppliers for attractive deals. Our employees are well aware of our internal quality and its flaws and they are working on its continuous improvement.

			Note that an organization at the ''Systems'' Level will have to be on the leading edge in using the most actual systems available in their market segment.

			The Systems these type of organizations use are an example to others, because of the speed with which they can adjust their production (not their products) as changes occur in the specifications of certain product ranges.

Procurement is handled via one of these described processes allowing some room for taking decisions that will influence the costs in a positive manner.

			There is understanding of the relation between the quality and the way the working environment is set up. There is no link between the working environment and the business chain yet.

			Every day employees are aiming to do their work according to the described process. In the organization there is no manpower left to set up our systems or deal with the supplier/customer chain. Our organization knows the importance of quality, bu we are not yet able to get a firm grip on that.

			Note that an organization needs to have written and maintained processes in order to meet the requirements associated with the ''Processes'' Level.

			The processes of organizations at this MINCE Level allow them to fairly easily change from one production sequence to another, though the output will always remain restricted to certain boundaries (a single product of a limited set of products) which is inevitable to this maturity level.
