In the current phase of globalization, the fashion\ud
industry is an important sector where firm strategies are\ud
frequently oriented towards product personalization \u96\ud
more than product customization \u96 with a reduced price.\ud
The fashion industry relates to the ability to provide\ud
customized products or services through flexible\ud
processes in high volume and at a reasonably low cost,\ud
which are currently key variables for the fashion supply\ud
chain. Performance concepts \u96 which usually refer to\ud
three pillars, i.e., economic, environmental and social\ud
ones \u96 are new paradigms in this industrial sector,\ud
namely \u93sustainable\u94 mass customization. This paper\ud
proposes a multi-criteria methodological approach for\ud
evaluating the performance of the fashion industry based\ud
on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and the Analytic\ud
Network Process (ANP), called \u91MAB\u92 \u96 Multi-criteria\ud
Assessment Balanced Scorecard. Firstly, key performance\ud
indicators (KPIs) are evaluated in order to assess the\ud
performance level of a typical fashion industry. The\ud
development of an index system and methods is aimed to\ud
form a set of useful tools for policy-makers to facilitate\ud
the transformation of an industrial development mode\ud
and support the performance of the fashion industry
