Measuring the performance of supply chain innovations

Abstract

The issue of evaluating the performance of supply chain innovations in an organization in the current economic environment is studied in the paper. The proposed technique is used to compare several projected supply chain innovations and is based on a comprehensive evaluation using an integral coefficient and taking into account both financial and non-financial indicators, depending on the purpose and focus of suggested innovations. The presented approach was tested as part of the analysis of two supply chain innovations, using the example of the selected trading company. Based on the tasks that are planned to be solved with the use of corresponding supply chain innovations, the categories and indicators are identified for calculating the integral coefficient in order to measure the performance of supply chain innovation. The final analysis also takes into consideration the selected indicators for evaluating the efficiency of investments and functional subsystems of a supply chain to develop sound management decisions in the field of the company's logistic system transformation.
