The existing performance measurement tool set for environmental operations is
growing, but may not yet be adequate to fully assess GSCM. Tools, from the literature
and practice, include such items as the analytical hierarchy process, activity-based
costing, design for environment analysis, balanced scorecard, and life cycle analysis
type tools. Some tools have seen, or could be, directly applied to aspects of GSCM and
performance, and others require adjustments and extensions.
