ABSTRACT

This study evaluates the efficiency of supply chain management within the Algerian petrochemical sector, focusing on the CP2K Plastic Comple. The research operationalizes the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model to assess supply chain performance across its five core attributes: reliability, responsiveness, agility, cost, and asset management. data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysis of official documentation and statistical records. The findings reveal that the CP2K complex demonstrates high reliability in order fulfillment. Responsiveness and agility are evidenced by short order fulfillment cycle times and relative flexibility in production volume adjustments, though unplanned stoppages due to equipment failure and resource shortages highlight operational vulnerabilities. The study confirms that the SCOR model provides a comprehensive and applicable framework for measuring supply chain performance in this context. However, findings also underscore the complex's reliance on imported raw materials and exposure to global supply chain disruptions, as well as the absence of advanced technological integration.
