Benchmarking Practice for Identification of Internal Supply Chain Management Performance Factors Gap.

The present study deals with summarizing and analysing the current challenges of internal supply chain management in the Indian manufacturing world. Benchmarking practice for internal supply chain management performance factors may be fruitful to overcome supply chain challenges. The main purpose of this research work is to implement the benchmarking practice in internal supply chain performance factors for the identification of gap between them. Internal supply chain management consists of purchase, production, and distribution units between suppliers and customers. Proper coordination between departments is necessary for efficient working of internal supply chain of manufacturing industry. In this research work, the main objective of the authors are to extract internal supply chain factors through history of literature and prepared mean scorecard on the basis of industrial questionnaire survey results; to implement the regular comparative benchmarking practice in finding out performance gap between factors of intern al supply chain until and either the gap is under control or within the limits.
