An investigation of the relationship between supply chain management practices (SCMP) on supply chain performance measurement (SCPM) of Indian retail chain using SEM

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between two major constructs (supply chain management practices (SCMP) and supply chain performance measures), which determines the efficiency and efficacy of retail-supply chain management, using a rigorous empirical method to validate the instrument scale for measuring the validity and reliability of the identified constructs. Additionally, the paper further tests the relationship between SCMP and supply chain performance measures using structural equation modeling (SEM). Design/methodology/approach Data were compiled and collected from 213 operations and supply chain (SC) heads from leading retail stores in India. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the validity of the proposed measurement scale and the relationship is tested using SEM. Findings The results of the research will help the decision makers in the SC/procurement field to understand the importance of the association between SCMP and supply chain performance measures. Statistical tests show that the implementation of SCMP are associated with supply chain performance measures, which leads to overall improvements; moreover, there is a statistically significant association between the five SCMP and eight SCPM. Research limitations/implications This research is also needed to provide more understanding about the SCMP along with the supply chain performance measures and the positive association among them. Overall, this research provides an additional insight into the growing field of the relationships between SCMP and SCPM. Clearly, the field has ample space to grow in terms of research and practice. Originality/value This research paper contributes to the literature on supply chain performance measurement.

Sustainable Supply Chain Management Practices and Sustainable Performance in Hospitals: A Systematic Review and Integrative Framework

“…In accordance with the scope of the CRM concept, identified practices in the reviewed literature may fall short. It was struggling to identify it as a clear construct because these practices are scarce in healthcare [128], despite the fact that their influence on performance has been widely studied in manufacturing [5,7,[129][130][131]. In such publications, CRM practices have been operationalized into management of customer complaints, evaluation of customer satisfaction, determination of customer expectations, frequent interaction with customers to set standards, and consideration of information from customers for business design and planning.…”

“…A further purpose of this performance is the efficiency and effectiveness of any action taken. More broadly performance measurement can be interpreted as a process of assessment of the progress achieved by the company in order to achieve the targets including an assessment of the efficiency of resources in providing products and services, the quality of the firm's output and effectiveness of the organization's activities in order to achieve organizational goals (5).…”

Expand performance measurement functions opportunity to review the past and present and to obtain a future strategy for the organization's operations success and for the fulfilment of its strategic objective [5].…”

REBA: an Ergonomics Assessment for Machine Operator of Porang (Amorphophallus Muelleri)

“…REVIOUS research on the ergonomic design on appropriate technology has been carried out both for fishermen on the coast [1] and farmers in forest areas [2 -4]. Ergonomics [5] in forestry areas have been implemented for example on ergonomic, mobile, and portable porang cutting and drying machines on motorbikes [6]. Trial of making a prototype cutting machine prototype needs an analysis of the work poster load when using the machine.…”
