This is an introduction to the case study of Somerset Furniture. The main talk of the event would be about global supply chain and its impact towards Somerset furniture.

In recent years, the importance management of supply chain has been a popular topic for a discussion and debates especially among the researchers, academician and practitioners. Still, the literature on supply chain management (SCM) especially in exploring the supply chain performance measurement is very limited. This limitation is due to the affected (in return) by many aspects of the firm’s environment and operations. The lack of investigation on understanding the supply chain measurement will affect the objectives and motivations of several supply chain concept even though there is a lot of literature on number of conceptual frameworks, discussion on characteristics, hierarchy and structure of performance measurement framework.

3.2) At the drive-through counter of a fast-food outlet, an average of 10 cars waits in line. The manager wants to determine if the length of the line is having any impact on potential sales. A study reveals that, on average, 2 cars per minute try to enter the drive-through area, but 25 percent of the drivers of these cars are dismayed by the long line and simply move on without placing orders. Assume that no car that enters the line leaves without service. On average,

In general, supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision problem that contains tangible and intangible factors. This paper identifies
