The process of choosing appropriate supply chain performance measures is di
fficult due to the complexity of these systems. The paper presents an overv
iew and evaluation of the performance measures used in supply chain models
and also presents a framework for the selection of performance measurement
systems for manufacturing supply chains. Three types of performance measure
s are identified as necessary components in any supply chain performance me
asurement system, and new flexibility measures for supply chains are develo
ped.
