Statistical analysis combined the use of descriptive statistics and structural equation modeling.Findings – Empirical results indicate a strong and positive statistical relationship between supply chain maturity and performance. The results also suggest that the deliver process maturity has a higher impact on overall performance than the other supply chain processes.Research limitations/implications – Quantifying supply chain maturity and performance is an opportunity for a company to align its performance measurements and process improvement actions with its broader policies and strategies. The use of this approach has been validated in several previo...}, number={4}, journal={Supply Chain Management}, author={McCormack, K. and Ladeira, M. B. and De Oliveira, M. P.
