Abstract
Supply chain performance depends on the efficiency of
supply chain. The efficiency depends on the inputs utilized
and their outcome(s). In this paper an attempt has been
made to measure the efficiency of supply chain of
pharmaceutical companies in India. Efficiency is measured
by quantum of inputs like internal manufacturing capacity,
supply chain cost, working capital, invested-capital,
number of employees, wages to workers, materials
consumed and fuel used in production. The outputs are net
value added by supply chain and net income gained. Data
Envelopment Analysis and Tobit model of regression is
used for the analysis of data.
