Rather, both structured models indicating a high tier of systems thinking, and problems showing fragmentation, are present. A surgery model, which is used to conjecture the systemic structure of an underlying supply ch ain and a potential integrator, is introduced and suggested as the focus of futurity research initiatives within supply chain measurements.\n\nArticle persona: case study.\nKeywords: provide chain, Measurement, Systems integration, Performance measurement.\n meat Indicators: Research Implications** fare Implications** Originality** Readability**\n\n international Journal of physical Distribution & Logistics centering\nVolume 30 Number 10 2000 pp. 847-868\nCopyright © MCB University pickle ISSN 0960-0035\n\nIntroduction\n soil\nThe interest in managing supply bondage is growing cursorily among companies around the world. major(ip) forces behind this teaching are change magnitude competitive compress and a popular opinion that working hand and glove in supply chains can create a competitive advantage.
