Cuthbertson and Piotrowicz [40] have proposed a framework for the empirical analysis of SCPMSs with a single case study involving the automotive industry in UK. Nevertheless, further empirical research is required to validate the proposed framework. A framework to examine the effect of information sharing, on-time delivery rate and total cost in an SC has been developed by Hall and Saygin [58]. The performance factors of capacity tightness, resource reliability and information sharing modes have been selected and tested via simulation. Additional elements could be included in the future since the study concentrated on information sharing capability. Bai and Sarkis [8] applied neighbourhood rough-set theory to identify performance measures. Neighbourhood rough-set models can deal with continuous numeric data, whereas a traditional rough set typically requires categorisation of continuous data to be efficient [8]. The advantage of this technique is the flexibility of performance measures inclusion or exclusion based on the size of the determined neighbourhood distance and inclusion factors. The proposed model implied five perspectives of an SC (cost, time, quality, flexibility and innovation). Charkha and Jaju [31] suggested an SCPMS for the textile industry while focusing on three performance criteria: human resources, inventory and production operation scheduling. Furthermore, an empirical study in the Indian textile industry has been carried out. Gallear et al. [50] have highlighted the need for diagnostic reference tools for environmental uncertainty and SC performance. In addition, they have employed data envelopment analysis (DEA) to examine the performance of value streams within the SC for the European automotive industry sector. However, there is a need for additional decision-making units.
