Systematic mechanism for identifying the relative impact of supply chain performance areas on the overall supply chain performance using SCOR model and SEM

摘要

This research aims to introduce a systematic mechanism for developing an organization specific supply chain performance measurement (SCPM) model and for generating a single regression relationship between the overall supply chain performance (SCP) and each of the SCPM areas using an organization's numerical data. The research uses a case study conducted in a small-scale asphalt manufacturing plant located in West Texas, USA with a sample of 218 data records collected over a period of one year. In this article, the systematic mechanism is demonstrated using the data from the case study organization. It provides guidance for developing a hierarchical SCPM model for the organization using the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model, and then to obtain the final regression equation for the overall SCP using the Structural Equations Modeling (SEM) technique. The results obtained from the SCPM mechanism are then compared with the managerial input on the SCP that was analyzed using the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The results of the comparison are used to validate the SCPM results.
