A Performance Measurement System for Global Manufacturing Networks

The results of the multidimensional evaluation show that the concept of selective key figures that is known from the field of logistics has the best fit to serve as a basis for a novel PMS for GMNs. The transferred PMS consists of metrics evaluating the strategic success factors of GMNs like flexibility and delivery reliability on the one hand and possible operational bottlenecks like complexity on the other hand. The validation of the PMS in a real life environment shows that it contributes to overcoming the identified gap in the literature and supports practitioners in the process of enhancing GMNs.
