The Influence of Supply Chain Integration Towards Supply Chain Performance in Manufacturing Firms

Abstract

Supply chain integration are network links of an organisation or firm with its business partners such as customers and suppliers by integrating their relationships, functions and processes. Meanwhile as supply chains continue to replace individual firms as the economic engine for creating value during the twenty-first century, understanding the supply chain performance becomes increasingly important for both practitioners and researchers. Previous studies have addressed supply chain integration and supply chain performance in separate studies. This conceptual paper will explore the key role played by supply chain integration in the effort to succeed within a competitive business environment, and consequently enhance firm performance as well as supply chain performance. Furthermore, the proposed framework will be valuable to various environments due to its integration of prior research and literature. This study is among the pioneers in investigating and determining the conceptual relationship between supply chain performance and supply chain integration.

Effects of Supply Chain Visibility on Supply Chain Performance in Ghana Health Service: The Case of Kumasi Metro Health Directorate

“…They defined SCP as the benefits an organization gets from supply chain participation of course not limited to efficiency improvement, price reduction, as well as enhancement in cycle time (Yu, 2015). Asnordin et al (2021) observed that previous research has actually confirmed that an effective and reliable supply chain supplies top quality products on time and in the right amounts. Again, it reduces order cycle time and it benefits affects all supply chain partners.…”

“…Again, it reduces order cycle time and it benefits affects all supply chain partners. Asnordin et al (2021) asserted that dimension of performance can be defined in various aspects, of course depending on the technique and the factor for determining that dimension of performance. Wood, Reiners, & Srivastava (2017) therefore explained efficiency measurement as the method of examining an individual or multiple tasks in an effective and efficient manner.…”

“…Sardi et al (2020) went straight to the point by explaining the dimension of efficiency as the interpretation of efficiency results into the kind of recorded and communicated information that can be shared and utilized in order to upgrade and enhance procedures. Asnordin et al (2021) concluded that the vital role of supply chains in a firm's competition has necessitated the need for keeping track of procedures (visibility) to manage not only the business's performance, but additionally that of the supply chain performance as well. The current study seeks to examine the supply chain visibility and its effects on supply chain performance.…”

“…, 2018). These digital initiatives include electronic customer service management, blockchain, cloud computing, enterprise planning system and augmenting online order procurement and placement (Asnordin et al. , 2021; Sanders and Morgan, 2020).…”

“…Companies have accelerated their supply chain interactions with the help of digitisation and the introduction of new technologies to drive effective decision-making in the complex and challenging process (Eshkenazi, 2018;Laaper et al, 2018). These digital initiatives include electronic customer service management, blockchain, cloud computing, enterprise planning system and augmenting online order procurement and placement (Asnordin et al, 2021;Sanders and Morgan, 2020). Such novel technologies and analytical methods in supply chain management aided in building competitive advantage and enabled the supply chain operations to boost (Buntz, 2017;Newman, 2018;Vollmer, 2018).…”
