Abstract This paper discusses good criteria for a supply
chain performance measurement model and their level of
importance. The criteria were obtained from results of
previous research findings and recommendations from
several researchers. The criteria are divided into two
categories, namely efficient and effective. To examine
which criteria can be used to assess a supply chain
performance measurement model, a survey was
conducted by distributing questionnaires to supply chain
actors from different industry fields (both manufacturing
and services) in Indonesia using random sampling
techniques. Data analysis using pairwise comparisons
with an analytical Hierarchy Process model showed that
efficient criteria were more important than effective
criteria. Efficient criteria consisted of three sub-criteria:
the amount of data is not too much and low cost and output is
presented in a simple form. Effective criteria consisted of
the criteria in the order of importance as follows: clarity,
validity, comprehensiveness, responsiveness and
dynamics. Further research is needed for developing a
model that meets these criteria

1. Introduction
Performance measurement plays an important role in the
improvement of an organization. Performance measures
can determine the level of progress of the organization
and determine the necessary action needed for improving
the organization. From a management perspective,
performance measurement has the role of providing
feedback information, which is very useful for managers
to monitor the progress of the company's performance as
an initial step in the development of the company, to
increase motivation and communication and to diagnose
problems [20,21]. Performance measurement can be used
to assess the effectiveness of strategies in Supply Chain
Management (SCM) and to identify success and
opportunities for the future. It shares an important
contribution in the decision making process in SCM,
especially for the process of re-planning the company’s
objectives and strategies, as well as in the re-engineering
process [3].
There are various approaches in SCM performance
measurement and these can be grouped into three
categories, i.e., based on context (supply chain
conditions), content (what is measured) and process (how
