It is also important to realize that not every criterion can be a Key Performance
Measure. A combination of strategic performance metrics, managerial performance
outputs, and operational performance statistics is required, and should be
linked to the expectations of shareholders and customers. The future of performance
measurement in the supply chain needs to emphasize certain areas of
change. These include the shift of economic hubs for world manufacturing and
trade to non-western parts of the globe. This in turn will require accounting for the
cultural interactions in supply networks.
