L 'The main objective of logistics and supply chain management is to create the right products at the right place, the right amount at the right time, at minimal cost. modern supply chains have become too complicated, the management of them requires more than just intuition. The statistical data are available should be monitored and analyzed to ensure the efficiency of the entire network.

In line with these parameters were introduced as a standard for measuring the supply chain in SeptemberPerformance. These measures allow the development of the network manager to pursue. In this way, three key success factors have been identified, namely, customer satisfaction, resources and flexibility.
