Additionally, the paper further tests the relationship between SCMP and supply chain performance measures using structural equation modelling (SEM). Data were compiled and collected from 213 operations and supply chain (SC) heads from leading retail stores in India. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the validity of the proposed measurement scale and the relationship is tested using SEM.
