Agile supply chains; characterized by decentralization and dynamism have redefined the performance metrics for gaining competitive advantage for organizations.The extended supply chains of today need a high alignment of the information flow across disparate and decentralized links of supply chains.Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies are suitable for enabling the information flow of supply chains.The P2P paradigm supports efficient communication, coordination and computing across decentralized and dynamic networks.In this paper, we have presented a perspective on applicability of P2P to supply chains using supply chain performance attributes and metrics defined by Supply Chain Operations Reference Model (SCOR).
