    A supply chain is a network of interaction between different actors, and indi-cators govern its behavior. The current research deals with the analysis and ranking of critical indicators for the supply chain in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). To this end, firstly, a systematic review of supply chain management indicators for SMEs was carried out. Using data sources such as Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar, 189 metrics were selected. Then, through practical and methodological filters, this number was reduced to 149. To organize these indicators, both models, the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR-model), were used to connect company strategies to their performance. Secondly, these measures formed part of a questionnaire answered by 30 SME experts. From their responses, critical indicators were evaluated through Principal Component Analysis (PCA), resulting in 50 key indicators. Finally, these indicators were ranked using the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). For SCM in SMEs, findings indicate that the primary key perfor-mance indicators (KPIs) are cash flow, satisfaction rate, inventory rotation, and exchange of information through the supply chain.

    PESTEL analysis as a baseline to support decision-making in the local textile industry
    (Springer, Cham, 2020) Sigcha Quezada, Erik Alejandro; Martínez Moscoso, Fernando Andrés; Sigüenza Guzmán, Lorena Catalina; Jadán Avilés, Diana Carolina; Jadán Avilés, Diana Carolina
    The concept of sustainability has several possible meanings in the Ecuadorian context. This is especially true when it comes to the business sector because of the complexity related to implementing the Good Living concept and honoring the constitutional Rights of Nature. In Ecuador, most of the business sector is represented by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). Thus, their role in the development of national economies is crucial. This sector has difficulty adapting its organizations to the way of sustainable development. In fact, the decision to incorporate the principle of sustainability in this transition period is a big challenge for MSMEs due to their limited resources and the competitive environment they face. This work studies the contextual aspects influencing the regular operations of the Ecuadorian MSMEs, with particular emphasis on the textile industry. To do so, a comprehensive literature review was performed by applying a political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal (PESTEL) analysis. As a result, factors and implications were identified and explained in context, comprehensively, not individually. The information gathered yielded an overview of the sector, which serves as a baseline for the definition of the required models and tools for supporting sustainable decision-making in the local context.
