Abstract: In this paper, we have developed the supply chain evaluation framework by assessing the performance of supply chain in its operational environment. This is a conceptual paper, which includes extensive literature review, environmental analysis and brainstorming with experts of this field. It gives an insight into various aspects of supply chain and the issues associated with it which include: supply chain performance and its benefits, need of a good evaluation system for supply chain, existing frameworks/models and framework for the evaluation of supply chain performance measurement systems. We propose the framework for supply chain evaluation in dynamic business settings. Our work is confined to the development of framework for making a system to evaluate the supply chain. Development and execution of this system and its success will decide the adaptability of the framework proposed to meet the needs of the industry. The proposed framework is a noble approach to the development of supply chain evaluation system which considers supply chain functional issues, issues associated with its partners and environmental issues in which it operates.

Keywords: supply chain evaluation; performance management; framework; supply chain performance; performance assessment; supply chain management; SCM; performance measurement; environmental issues.
