Key performance indicators (KPIs) on Vannamei shrimp supply chain performance (a preliminary research)

Abstract

Higher competition makes the company should be able to fulfill consumer needs quickly, precisely and low cost. It can achieve by designing good supply chain. To know supply chain’s success, we must measure its performance with proper KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). But, to get proper KPIs is not easy because of each supply chain has unique characteristics, one of them is vannamei shrimp supply chain. Vannamei shrimp is perishable products, seasonal in production, and highly dependence on nature. This preliminary work will propose a set of proper KPIs by considering its uniqueness to measuring its performance. This work done by mapping vannamei shrimp supply chain network first, then determines the KPIs from six literatures. The stakeholders mostly consist of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). We get 34 KPIs from this study, which are 31 KPIs can be use in general supply chain and three special KPIs which only use for vannamei shrimp supply chain. Furthermore, this research will be done to complete the KPIs by considering stakeholders suggestions, weighting the KPIs by AHP and develop vannamei shrimp supply chain performance measurement system (PMS). The PMS will be used to measure vannamei shrimp supply chain and compared with another PMS.
