Abstract: In Supply Chain Management (SCM), performance measurement can facilitate understanding and integration among the supply chain partners. The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to review the existing SCM performance measurement framework based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Balanced Scorecard (BSC) models reported in the literature. Second, based on the prioritisation of the suggested performance measures/metrics and performance at different decision levels, a mathematical model is developed to optimise the overall performance measurement of SCM for Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs).

Keywords: performance measurement; supply chain management; SCM; prioritisation; analytical hierarchy process; AHP; balanced scorecard; BSC; mathematical modelling; SMEs; small and medium-sized enterprises.
