Design performance indicators in Supply Chains Based on Common Platforms By using Structural Equation Model (SEM)

This paper focuses on performance indicator in supply chain management and common platform. Accordingly, a conceptual model and a decision framework for supply chains based on common platforms have been developed and proposed by using Structural Equation Model (SEM). The model is intended to work as a basis for define performance indicators. Based on the proposed framework, the possibility of choosing the best indicators of common elements is provided, taking into account the supply chain and common platform policies. In order to reach the research objectives, following an extensive study of related works, field research and case study in automotive industry, related knowledge and experience has been extracted. Analyzing the results, modeling is performed and the model has been validated.
