An appropriate performance measurement system is an important requirement for the effective management of a supply chain. Two hurdles are present in measuring the performance of a supply chain and its members. One is the existence of multiple measures that characterize the performance of chain members, and for which data must be acquired; the other is the existence of conflicts between the memb...

data envelopment analysis (dea) is a method for measuring the efficiency of peer decision making units (dmus) with multiple inputs and outputs. the traditional dea treats decision making units under evaluation as black boxes and calculates their efficiencies with first inputs and last outputs. this carries the notion of missing some intermediate measures in the process of changing the inputs to...

In order to evaluate the multistage supply chain efficiency, an appropriate performance evaluation system is importantly required. A representative multistage supply chain has three members composing a supplier-manufacturer-retailer structure, and has intermediate measures connecting these supply chain members. Existing data envelopment analysis (DEA) models have difficulties in measuring these...

Supply chain management is essential for the success of firms and customer satisfaction. In addition, a suitable performance evaluation system is vital to the effective management of the supply chain. Due to the importance of cost management in the supply chain, an approach based on Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is proposed in the current study for evaluating the cost efficiency of closed-loo...

Supply Chain Management (SCM) adopts a systematic and integrative approach to manage the operations and relationship among different parties in supply chain. There are lots of issues for effective implementation of Supply Chain. One of the major issues is supplier development. Studies have investigated how quality management can be employed in SCM to improve performance in the whole supply netw...

this paper aims to present a model for agile supply chain model in construction enterprises with performance evaluation of suppliers and contractors. management and selection of suppliers and contractors plays an important role in process of constructions, because contractors are as corner stones of construction projects. also, contractors are the main factor in converting resources to the fina...

In Supply Chain Management (SCM), strengthening partnerships with suppliers is a significant factor for enhancing competitiveness. Hence, firms increasingly emphasize supplier evaluation processes. Supplier evaluation systems are basically developed in terms of criteria such as quality, cost, delivery, and flexibility. Because there are many variables to be analyzed, this process becomes hard t...

Modern manufacturing enterprises are required to collaborate by their business partners through their business process operations such as design, manufacture, distribution, and aftersales services. And furthermore performance evaluation is of great importance for effective supply chain man agement. Therefore, DEA can help companies to remove some of the in efficiencies in operational processes ...

Traditional DEA models deal with measurements of relative efficiency of DMUs regarding multiple-inputs vs. multiple-outputs. One of the drawbacks of these models is the neglect of intermediate products or linking activities. After pointing out needs for inclusion of them in DEA models, we propose a slacks-based network DEA model that can deal with intermediate products. Using this model we can ...

the performance of a supply chain can be evaluated in either a cross-sectional or a time series manner, and data envelopment analysis is a useful method for both types of evaluation. in this paper we develop an index and indicator of productivity change that can be used with radial and non-radial models for supply chain malmquist index. the supply chain malmquist productivity index (scmpi) can ...
