Abstract

In the current competitive environment, companies are pushed to develop strategies to achieve operational excellence in pursuit of growth and profitability. A supply chain focuses primarily on reducing costs by optimizing its processes, achieving a service level that meets the required quality standards. Managing the success of the supply chain is considered an essential activity in any organization. Then, the effectiveness and efficiency of the supply chain can be determined through a performance measurement system focused especially on logistics processes. The proposal established in this research consists of a system that integrates auxiliary techniques in decision-making with the aim of establishing performance indicators within the supply logistics process. In addition, this system incorporates fuzzy logic in order to establish more realistic and robust metrics and with the ability to feed back indicators under uncertain environments or with a lack of information. The presented system is cyclical and adaptive, which includes techniques based on AHP, SCOR, and Fuzzy Logic, and they support the decision-maker in any environment, stage, or process of the supply chain by determining through projections if the objectives planted in the improvement plans have been achieved. Additionally, it identifies the attributes that impact on the supply chain and those that represent areas of opportunity to improve.
