【 摘 要 】

This research examined performance measurement of textile and apparel supply chains indeveloping countries. The research utilized a two-phase, mixed methods research design. Thefirst phase consisted of field research on the Sri Lankan textile and apparel industry. Thesecond phase collected quantitative data using online surveys and qualitative data usingphone interviews.Results indicate that developed and developing countries differ with respect to performancemeasurement of textile and apparel supply chains. Companies in developed countries aremore likely to have a performance measurement system, whereas companies in developingcountries are more likely to not have such a system. In addition, results indicate differencesbetween smaller and larger companies.This research defines companies as developing or developed based on location, size,company function, level of sophistication, value-adding activities, and performancemeasurement. Results from both phases of the research have been utilized to develop a modelof performance measurement specific to the textile and apparel industry.
