In recent years the topic of sustainable supply chain has received dramatic attention and become an important research area. These days there are some new challenges which companies should consider them such as climate changes, the negative effect of downturn, face the growing attention of people to ecology. In order to evaluate the sustainability performance measurement system becomes an important tool to assess the sustainability on environmental, social and economy aspect of supply chain management. For making the business case for sustainability issues in supply chain, it is critical to call for effective performance measurement system and metrics development.

The design of a performance measurement system for the Colombian shipyard supply chain is shown in this paper, using a model that integrates the principles of the Balanced Scorecard with the fuzzy sets theory to treat uncertainty associated with selected logistics indicators, enabling better supply chain management.

Purpose In the present context of a globalised economy, market requirements are changing regularly in term of product cost, delivery time, safety and environmental issues. Apart from conventional measures, environmental factors have become an integral part of performance measurement system. This study aims to analyse major barriers and factors in green supply chain (GSC) management implementation. Design/methodology/approach The present study has tried to identify barriers and factors for green supply chain management (GSCM) based on literature review. Factors for GSCM have been modelled by interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach. Findings Based on literature review, 12 factors have been identified. It has been observed that top management commitment, integration among supply chain members, vendors’ development, environmental friendly packaging and transportation, reverse logistic management and development of a green performance measurement system are major drivers for successful implementation of GSCM. Research Limitations/implications Organisations need to follow a proactive approach for taking GSC initiatives. For generalisation of findings, empirical study and some case studies need to be carried out. Originality/value Findings of this study will help organisations in strategy formulation for GSCM and successful implementation for sustainable competitiveness.

The literature on organizational change identifies readiness as an important factor for understanding the outcome of implementation. In the context of implementing a performance measurement system (PMS) in a rehabilitation hospital, we conducted a case study to gain an in-depth understanding of the factors that might impede or facilitate readiness to use a PMS. Two data sources were used: key informant interviews with healthcare executives and official organizational documents. Our results indicate that healthcare executives’ readiness for a PMS was high. This state of readiness is influenced by 12 factors that were classified into three main themes: (1) adopters’ attributes, (2) PMS attributes, and (3) organizational attributes. These results are consistent with change management theory as well as the findings of recent empirical research. In the context of implementing a PMS, a readiness assessment can help identify organizational strengths and weaknesses so that strategies necessary for successful implementation can be developed.

A performance measurement system for small enterprises – a case study The performance measurement system is one of the determinants which creates an enterprise’s value, and is supposed to leading to an enterprise maintaining or improving its performance in the long-term per-spective. Small enterprises do not understand the need to measure their performance or the potential benefits that come from this measurement. The aim of the article is to present a framework of a perfor-mance measurement system for small enterprises with a practical verification of its assumptions. The basis of the study was an analysis of existing proposals of models and frameworks for small and medium enterprises and the results of a study into the performance measurement solutions applied in practice by Polish small enterprises. As a result of the research conducted, a 4-step process of continuous perfor-mance measurement for small enterprises is presented, and practical verification is conducted on the example of a small legal firm, considering the strategy map and the measures of the set of aims. The construction of a performance measurement system is unique to every enterprise due to its condition, the business sector, the environment, and other factors, so a featured case study provides only a specific example of model usage in practice. The study provides an original contribution of the author. There has been no such research in this field so far in the Polish literature.
