Analyzing alternatives for improvement in supply chain performance
Abstract
The performance of a supply chain is characterized by its ability to remain market‐sensitive without losing the integration through the chain. One of the difficulties in designing and analysing a supply chain is that its processes are governed by the strategic attributes of the supply chain. In order to evaluate the alternatives that provide the route of performance improvement in a supply chain, an analytic network process (ANP)‐based model is proposed. The ANP‐based evaluation model is illustrated through an example of supply chain. It provides an effective framework for analyzing the alternatives affecting supply chain performance. It also provides the decision methodology to prioritise these alternatives, so that supply chain performance can be improved.
