description Performance measurement is a vital part of any successful organization. One of the most important challenges for measuring the performance is defining the critical metrics and measures. For many companies, the critical metrics determined based on their supply chain strategies.

This study determines the supply chain strategy adopted by ketchup companies in Malaysia; it also specifies the most critical factors for measuring companies’ performance based on Balanced Scorecard (BSC) perspectives and finally conduct a comparative performance measurement for six ketchup companies which located in Johor, Malaysia.
