Supply Chain Performance Measures Definition
Supply chain performance measures, also called supply chain metrics, can be classified as functional indicators and end-to-end supply chain indicators. The former measure the effectiveness of the supply chain function, while the latter refers to how well these functions are coordinated and what is needed for this coordination, that is, costs and productivity (Kellen, 2003).
