Designing innovative framework for supply chain performance measurement in textile industry

Supply chain management (SCM) has become very important technology management concept to attain the quality consciousness. The attainment of quality in supply chains (SCs) will only be achieved with the help of good supply chain performance evaluation system. Also, the textile industries in India are the fastest growing and prime contributor to Indian economic development. As we all know, designing performance measurement system is dependent on various attributes, hence a multi criteria decision making tool is required, and similarly, as supply chain management is a process oriented approach, hence the same process improvement concept is needed. Therefore, the main aim of the paper is to review the existence of supply chain management and supply chain performance measurement system (SCPMS) in the Indian textile industry. Literature reviewed reveals that there is a need of proactive and integrated performance measurement framework for the said industry, also the selection of performance measures/metrics should be unique. Hence, the study here suggests the SCPMS for the core textile industry with the use of three performance metrics; inventory scheduling, production operation and scheduling and human resource scheduling. The analytical techniques used for developing framework are also kept unique and they are analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and Six Sigma.
