SUMMARY
Nowadays supply chain (SC) evaluation is one of the critical problems in most of industries. Various frameworks and systems have been proposed to tackle the problem. In this paper, the literature of approaches, techniques and criteria for SC performance evaluation are reviewed. For this reason, related works appeared in the international journals from 1998 to 2010 are gathered and analyzed. The paper attempts to response the following four questions: (I) Which SC approaches were prevalently applied? (II) Which techniques were used to facilitate the performance measurement? (III) Which evaluation criteria were paid more attention? The result of this review is contributed in recommendation of some possible future work. The other objective of this research is to aid the researchers and practitioners in applying the approaches, techniques and criteria effectively.DOI: 10.12660/joscmv6n2p94-113URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.12660/joscmv6n2p94-113
