Journal Title: International Journal of Management Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 8
Abstract
To compete successfully in today’s challenging business environment, companies need to focus on SCM practices that have great impact on enhancing their performances. This research conceptualizes the effects of SCM practices (SSP, IS, and POS) and tests the relationships between SCM practices and OP in consumer goods manufacturing industry at Pakistan. A questionnaire of SCM practices as a multi-dimensional construct that encompasses upstream and downstream sides of supply chain (Li et al, 2006) was used to collect the data of 331 managers and employees from 83 consumer goods manufacturing companies. The supply chain practices at Pakistani environment are not that much practiced as the results depict that SSP is positively impacting OP while level of IS and POS are negatively correlated to SCM practices due to cultural and environmental circumstances and nature of the practices. (Gibson, Mentzer, & Cook, 2005) brightened the fact that SCM is in its initial/ early phases of progression. The expertise of, why and how SCM practices touches firms performance, which extents are predominantly/especially important is still incomplete. The above reasons also confirm that the supply chain practices are in its inception stage at Pakistan.
