Abstract

The performance of a supply network decides the company's success and it is therefore, critical to develop a mature supply chain approach for the visibility of supply and demand collaboration. The aim of this research is to develop a Supply Chain Management (SCM) maturity model, which behaves as a maturity assessment tool that could meet the needs of companies' maturity level. The empirical part of the study introduces few impressive previously made supply chain maturity models, which also form a base for developing this model. Conceptual, analytical and decision methodological approaches were used as a research method.
