Journal Title: International Journal for Quality Research - Year 2014, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents finding of a study on Indian manufacturing organizations. A conceptual model is proposed based on a rigorous literature review. The model so developed undergoes through a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The paper highlights various factors responsible for supply chain performance (SCP), subsequently leading to competitiveness. The survey involves 361 manufacturing organizations across India and the data is gathered using 5-point Likert scale. The study attempts to integrate various factors contributing to SCP in a single study. It is proposed to further test the model using exploratory factor analysis (EFA).
