In the Future Supply Innovations (FUSION) project at the University of Liverpool, the authors have been engaged in action research at a luxury car assembly plant and several of its key components suppliers. The study is to identify and create the necessary pre-condition to develop a prototype of an e-enabled supply chain. One of the aims of this project is to develop a method to measure supply chain performance. In this paper, the authors raise the interaction between the components and supply chain design, as well as the measurement metrics. A case study is included in this paper to illustrate the relationship between these three aspects.
