EN This article presents a system for measuring the level of integration of a forward and backward supply chain and its use in modeling the structure and processes occurring in the management of the flow of goods. A supply chain involves both forward and backward flows and is related to S&OP model. The paper features also the methodology for developing a system for evaluating and validating the measurement system along with its application guidelines. It also presents selected results of a study into the barriers to integration and operational metrics to evaluate the performance of the supply chain and the specificity of their use in the simulation model. The main part of the article contains a description of integration categories. A comprehensive list of 19 integration categories subject to evaluation is supplemented with the description of the integration levels pertaining to selected categories. The last section discusses principles for evaluation and determining the level of integration of the supply chain and guidelines for its transformation in order to improve its efficiency.
