Abstract
Ethiopia has made enormous efforts in the leather industry to gain manufacturing capabilities that can be scaled up to other sectors. Those efforts have resulted in the industry shifting its role from raw material supplier to producer of value-added products for the global supply chain (GSC). However, the industry has faced severe challenges in generating the expected revenue, utilizing capacity, and finally coping with the global competitive environment. Studies reveal that manufacturing firms tackle similar challenges by improving their supply chain performance (SCP). The challenges that appeared in the leather industry of Ethiopia could also be solved by improving its SCP. Nonetheless, there is a lack of study on the basic characteristics and SCP of the industry after it has shifted its role. The main objective of this study is, therefore, to measure the SCP to know where it stands using a bench mark and identify the elements that contribute considerably to the low overall SCP in order to lay the foundation for subsequent improvement. To achieve the research objective, data was collected from primary and secondary sources through a questionnaire, survey, observation, and focus group discussion. The data is analyzed using the supply chain operations reference model (SCOR version 12.0). Accordingly, the overall SCP is found to be 67.33%, suggesting an average rating as per the set benchmark. The source process is identified as the most influential element for the overall low SCP, with a percentage gap of 17.23%. Taking corrective action on the identified elements could help the industry overcome the existing challenges by improving its SCP.

Abstract
So far, several models for measuring supply chain performance (SCP) have been developed. The supply chain operation reference (SCOR) model is regarded as the most crucial in the manufacturing business. However, none of the models, including the SCOR model, are comprehensive enough to measure the overall SCP of manufacturing firms. In practice, the existing models are only used in a few of the numerous steps necessary to calculate the overall SCP. Furthermore, the existing models lack fundamental elements that a model should include. The objective of this research is to develop a powerful SCP measurement using a systematic literature review (SLR). Accordingly, this research has proposed a complete supply chain operations measurement (C-SCOM) model. The proposed model consists of four major components: the application of the SCOR model, the application of the AHP method, a template that enables overall SCP calculation, and a direction for linking supply chain management practices (SCMPS) with gap analysis. By having these features, the model provides users with the ability to calculate the overall SCP, conduct gap analysis, carry out benchmarking, and link the gap analysis outputs to existing SCMPs, which the previous models lack. The validation using the fuzzy Delphi technique reveals that the proposed model is unique in its explicitness and will be user-friendly for real-world industrial applications. Finally, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing a comprehensive model that could help solve the real challenges that manufacturing firms face when measuring SCP.
