The present paper proposes a systematic approach for supporting a firm to evaluate its own supply chain performances based on the integration of different decision support tools. The proposed approach integrates key performance indicators (KPIs) with a multi-criteria model based on the Analytic Network Process (ANP). Index methods, usually applied at single firm levels, represent a synthetic but effective approach for performance analysis allowing a quick tool for target setting and performance monitoring. The integration of index methods with ANP allows to overcome criticalities of the two models as the ANP structure is developed according to a KPIs measuring method. The proposed tool could be applied for both strategic (e.g. selection of a distribution or packaging strategy) and operative (e.g. supplier performances’ monitoring) decisions.

Abstract
The present paper proposes a systematic approach for supporting a firm to evaluate its own supply chain performances based on the integration of different decision support tools. The proposed approach integrates key performance indicators (KPIs) with a multi-criteria model based on the Analytic Network Process (ANP). Index methods, usually applied at single firm levels, represent a synthetic but effective approach for performance analysis allowing a quick tool for target setting and performance monitoring. The integration of index methods with ANP allows to overcome criticalities of the two models as the ANP structure is developed according to a KPIs measuring method. The proposed tool could be applied for both strategic (e.g. selection of a distribution or packaging strategy) and operative (e.g. supplier performances’ monitoring) decisions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
