An integrated model for sustainable performance measurement in supply chain

There is an ongoing importance to the sustainable supply chain performance measurement due to the shifting competitiveness between individual organizations of which supply chains competing against each other. Thus, evaluating the supply chain and improving supply chain performance require the development of sustainable supply chain performance measurement system. Once the performance measurement system only consist of the economical criterion, with the addition of sustainability now its measurement scope includes social, environmental and resource criteria. In this study, The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) Method was applied to deal with the importance and causal relationships between the sustainable performances measurements criteria by considering the interrelationships among them. To analyze the abovementioned graph structure, a relatively new and multi-criteria decision making methods of graph theory and matrix approach are used. The proposed frameworks are tested using data obtained from three different manufacturing companies that take place on the same supply chain. (c) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
