Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) is one of the most important areas that have recently generated a great deal of interest in both industry and academia. The supply chain (SC) is a linked set of resources and processes that begins with the sourcing of raw materials and extends through to the delivery of end items to the final customer. This study has tried to review some of the SC practices and identified factors responsible for selecting best SCM practices. Structural relationship has been developed by interpretive structural modelling among these factors. This model is further illustrated with a case study.

Keywords: interpretive structural modelling; best practice; selection procedures; linked resources; linked processes; sourcing; raw materials; product delivery; end items; final customers; structural relationships; automobile industry; motorcycle production; Japan; India; business performance; SCM; supply chain management; simulation; manufacturing industry.
