Systematic mechanism for identifying the relative impact of supply chain performance areas on the overall supply chain performance using SCOR model and SEM

This research fulfills multiple research gaps highlighted in literature, mainly: the absence of a systematic approach to generate an organization specific SCPM model; and the absence of a SCPM system capable of generating a single cause-and-effect relationship between the overall SCP and the numerous hierarchical performance measures reflecting their relative impact. Therefore, this study can be viewed as an attempt to increase the level of awareness in the SC field. The article also proposes several future research directions to test the repeatability and validity of the proposed SCPM mechanism.
