The Impact

This research aims to analyse the impact of the COVID‑19 Pandemic on Supply Chain Performance of the Auto Parts Industries of Thailand. The primary data collected from an online questionnaire sent to 400 samples obtained by a stratified sampling method selected from tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 auto parts manufacturers. The structural equation model applied for analysis. The results showed that the COVID‑19 Pandemic, Environment performance, Negative performance, and operation performance affected supply chain performance. For suggestions from this research, first of all, the company's knowledge of internal management. And government involvement has a direct impact on the performance of the auto parts supply chain. The government's participation as factors of external influence also has an immediate effect on supply chain management. Company practices show that governments have played an essential role in promoting the auto parts industry's survival since its upstream. Midstream and downstream pressure has an indirect effect on corporate and consumer of supply chain management practices.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determines the effect of Internal Environment Management Practices on Supply Chain Performance among Agri-Manufacturing Firms in RwandaMethodology: This study employed both cross-sectional and explanatory research design and is in line with positivism approach. The target population was 567 top and middle employees in supply chain department from 67 Agri-Manufacturing Firms. Stratified and simple random sampling was used to select a sample of 226. This study collected both secondary and primary data, but mainly primary data using a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed with the aid of SPSS version 22.0 (Hayes and Matthes, 2009) using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Hypothesis 1 to 4 was tested using multiple regression model, while hypothesis 5 was tested using hierarchical regression.Results: Findings showed that internal environmental management positively and significantly influences supply chain performanceUnique contribution to Theory and Practice: It is therefore important for both the senior managers and mid – level managers to be committed and supportive of GSCM. Besides that, there is need for the firm to have total quality environmental management and ISO 14001 for environmental compliance. As well, having a team within the firm that is tasked with environmental improvements will go a long way in enhancing supply chain performance

The popularity of the supply chain concept emanates because of quality management. Quality management practices in supply chain contribute to quality offerings, overall firm performance, cost reduction and ultimately for competitive advantage. The paper empirically and analytically investigates the relationship between total quality management and supply chain performance. The primary data for the study were collected from 44 managers of small manufacturing firms, 74 wholesalers and 120 retailers in district Udhampur of J&K State. The data after purification & validation through factor analysis were subjected to multivariate tools. The results of Chisquare test, hierarchal regression model and correlation matrix revealed positive association between total quality management & supply chain operational efficiency, overall supply chain performance as predictor of quality management and existence of direct relationship between TQM and supply chain performance. The study emphasized that proper implementation of TQM programs could play a major role in developing an integrated organisation through teamwork, cordial relationship, training & education, cultural change and customer focus across the supply chain.

This study aims to analyze the effect of information technology on supply chain performance and information technology and supply chain performance on competitiveness. In addition, this study also investigates the role of supply chain performance in indirectly mediating the influence of information technology on company competitiveness. Primary data collection was carried out through questionnaires for managers of 112 manufacturing companies in East Java and South Sulawesi, Indonesia. This study uses descriptive analysis to describe the characteristics of respondents and variables. In addition, structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis is also carried out to test the research hypothesis. The results showed that the implementation of information technology has a positive and significant effect directly on supply chain performance and company competitiveness. Furthermore, supply chain performance has a positive and significant effect on company competitiveness. In addition, supply chain performance has a positive role in mediating the influence of information technology on company competitiveness.

Some scholars have been so blunt as to claim that information technology is the answer to all the problems facing supply chain managers. We posit that, although information technology integration is necessary for a supply chain to succeed, people are also crucial. We further propose that managers must take into consideration organizational culture and the education and training of employees to facilitate supply chain collaboration and success. We interviewed 51 senior-level supply chain managers across five channel positions. Findings support our position that management of people is crucial to supply chain integration, and that integration is improved through an accommodating organizational culture and training and educational programs. Also from our findings, we supply a prescription for building the supply chain cross-functional manager.

Mediator Variable

The objective of this study is to analyze and review the influence of government regulations and information technology on the operational performance of local television stations in East Java with service supply chain management practices as the mediator variable and capital owner’s intervention as the moderator variable. The data of exploratory research was collected through questionnaires distributed to twenty-nine local televisions stations, selected through saturated sampling method from a population of local television stations in East Java, and was analyzed using structural equation modeling. The finding of this study reveals that government regulations and information technology significantly influence the operational performance of local television stations with service supply chain management (SCM) practices as the mediator variable, which means that better government regulations and better information technology are analogous with the importance for the improvement of local television stations operational performance. Capital owner intervention weakens service SCM practices on operating performance and has a direct and immediate effect on reducing the operational performance of local television stations. The practical implications of this study signify the understanding that service SCM practices is an important concept in enhancing the operational performance. Capital owner’s intervention weakens service SCM practices on operating performance of local television stations.
