Abstract

The aim of this study is to propose an integrated approach for selecting performance indicators in Service Supply chains (SSCs) and to offer a method for determining the performance of single level bidirectional services supply chains in three hospitals.  For this purpose, the performance indicators of SSC processes have been studied and selected based on SMART features using ELECTRE I. Final indicators have been classified in terms of inputs and outputs. The proposed approach has been examined in single level bidirectional SSCs of three public hospitals. Findings indicate that the chain loops in terms of output indicators have a good performance but in terms of input indicators have a weak performance. In addition, hospital A regarding input indicator and hospital C regarding output indicator do not have appropriate performance, and hospital B regarding both input and output indicators has appropriate performance. Thus, the main concern of hospital A is to focus on improvement; of hospital B is to focus on optimization; and of hospital C is to focus on waste of resources.
