The boom in cross border trade has intensified competition among ports. To gain competitive advantage, many ports have introduced supply chain management to port operations, giving birth to the port supply chain (PSC). Thus, it is very meaningful to evaluate the overall operation of the PSC, identify PSC problems, and put forward effective countermeasures. In this paper, an index system is set up for PSC diagnosis, and a PSC diagnosis model is constructed, drawing on the supply chain operations reference (SCOR) model and the existing studies. The index system contains four indices, reliability, r, agility, and cost, while the model covers several steps, like index weighing, benchmark setting, evaluation, and result analysis. The proposed model was verified through an example analysis. The research findings shed new light on PSC operation and management.
