This paper presents some approach for the formulation of the decision-making model in supporting the assessment of supply chain efficiency. Were presented factors affecting the efficiency of the functioning of individual links of supply chain. Was pointed out the technical, economic, organizational and reliability aspects affecting the efficiency and reliability of functioning of the supply chain both in terms of supply and distribution. Having regard to a comprehensive approach to assessing efficiency of the functioning of supply chains were proposed indicators for assessing the quality of functioning. Were distinguished technical, economic and quality indicators for which also were presented a formal record.

Efficiency evaluation indexes and their weights selection method to the small and medium-sized powder metallurgy enterprise cluster supply chain were put forward and a supply chain efficiency evaluation model for it was set up. The efficiency evaluation to the supply chain can contribute to analyzing, discovering and solving the affecting efficiency problems in the operation process, and make the material flow more orderly, balanced and effective, reduce the logistics cost and the manufacturing cost and promote the agility and competitiveness of the cluster.

Bullwhip effect means the magnification of demand fluctuations, which is evident in a supply chain when demand increases and decreases, while the concept of Demand Chain Management means to make the planning on the basis of the demand side information so as to solve the problem of inconsistent upstream and downstream information by means of partner collaboration in the supply chain. Demand chain emphasizes the customer demand as its core value so as to achieve the best balance between the supply chain efficiency and customer satisfaction. Compared with the supply chain, the demand chain advises the enterprise to strengthen the information transmission ability to promote the performance. Under the demand chain management, the extent of bullwhip effect are weakened, and the fluctuation range against demand chain management is lower than against traditional supply chain.

The Supply Chain Improvement (SCO) project is being introduced by KNPC, which recognises the major business advantages of improved hydrocarbon supply chain efficiency. The objectives of this work is to strengthen, optimise, and integrate supply scheduling and processes not just at stage of enterprise, but also throughout the entire KNPC framework. This is expected to lead to an improvement in the company's bottom line and facilitate the management of business operations at the highest level of efficiency, agility and profitability. In ever changing market conditions and globally competitiveness, it is necessary that raw material supply storage and product delivery were carried out at the lowest possible time and efficiency. Otherwise export oriented refinery like KNPC cannot remain in business with profit. KNPC has therefore embarked on ambitious multi-year operational excellence programs aimed at enhancing its operations and business processes that include short / mid-term planning, scheduling, accounting for growth, inventory management, and performance management. The aim is to achieve top-quartile financial results by accessing new value streams, encapsulating business processes of best practice and motivating employees of businesses to work in a collaborative atmosphere within the global and cross-functional business cycle to make smarter, quicker and more competitive choices.
