The Study of Supply Chain Management Strategy and Practices on Supply Chain Performance

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of supply chain management techniques and strategy on supply chain performance. A questionnaire was used as the primary data collection tool, and it was administered to a sample of 200 managers. The managers were categorized by their job titles, and the respondents were categorized by the positions they held: corporate executive, purchasing, manufacturing/production, distribution/logistic, supply chain management, transportation, material, and operation from Pakistan's manufacturing sector. 62% of the surveys were completed, and 51% of them were usable. The selection of the sample was done through convenience sampling. The mean, standard deviation, and correlation between the independent and dependent variables were used to examine the data. The analysis included statistical techniques including multiple regressions and evaluations of validity and reliability. The results demonstrated a statistically significant association between supply chain performance and supply chain management strategies. Nevertheless, supply chain management performance is not well predicted by supply chain management strategy.
