نویسنده
چکیده
Organizations have started to realize that it is vital to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the organizational performance and supply chain simultaneously. However, only few manufacturing firms have obtained significant benefits by effectively utilizing supply chain management practices. Therefore, it is still not clear how supply chain management can be applied to enhance and improve the performance of the supply chain. Consequently, the purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of five different factors in supply chain on its performance. This research studies the relationship between the selected variables (i.e. quality, time, information, flexibility, and integration) and supply chain management performance. Respondents of a questionnaire from the electronics manufacturing industry in Malaysia show that information sharing is proven to be the most affecting factor which influence supply chain performance. The study shows that managing information will be the most beneficial factor in improving SCM performance.
