This paper describes the measurement of supply chain performance in Ethiopian meat processingrnindustries. SCM is a process for designing, developing, optimizing, and managing the internalrnand external components of the supply system in a manner that is consistent with the overallrnfirm‘s objectives and strategies. Performance measurement is the process of quantifyingrneffectiveness and efficiency of action. The Ethiopia meat processing industries has many supplyrnchain problems.

The study uses thernconcept of decision making levels and supply chain macro processes as its approach to the studyrnof the supply chain performance measurement. Questioner survey and semi structural interviewsrnwere used to collect the data for this study. rnThe whole finding involves the analysis of an overall supply chain performance from threernsupply chain macro processes; supplier relationship management, internal supply chainrnmanagement and customer relationship management based on strategic, tactical and operationalrndecision making levels.
