Abstract: Since the performance of suppliers critically influences the overall supply chain performance (SCP), the identification and evaluation of SCP through the standard index is an important approach to identifying the problem and improving SCP. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a SCP measurement index in a specific context and environment. In addition, the index for SCP should be adjustable to be compatible with a specific ecosystem (industry, country, culture, etc.). The purpose of this research is to construct an adaptable SCP measurement model based on the perception of stakeholders who directly participate in a supply chain. This research conducted an empirical survey on 210 automotive companies in Thailand to validate the proposed method. Then, the structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to test the relationships among influential factors in a supply chain. In consequence, an index is constructed by employing influential weights obtained from SEM.
