Abstract

The study, which is carried out on the Thai international firms, is investigating the impact of supply chain improvement planning on the supply chain performance. In addition to that, the study has examined the mediating role of the global configuration of the supply chain. The sample size in this study has been selected of 375, which is considered suitable and acceptable. The stratified random sampling design was used in the research. The population is divided into subgroups or strata from where random samples are drawn from each of the created strata in proportion to the entire population. The SEM-PLS has used to analyze the data. The findings of the study have shown agreement with the proposed hypothesis.  The findings of the study have revealed the fact that there is a need for the companies to focus on the investment areas and deal with the global SC configuration adopted by them. Along with the findings has broached that there is a variation of results from one group to another. Locals can achieve higher performance improvements through supplier development (i.e. quality and flexibility) and distribution strategy (i.e. lead-time, quality, and delivery). The study will b helpful for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in understanding the issues related to supply chain improvement planning, global configuration of supply chain and supply chain performance.

Abstract

Manufacturing sector is largely relying on its supply chain performance to bring efficiency in production in terms of cost and time. Internet of Things (IOT) and Dynamic Data and Information Processing Capabilities (DDIPCs) are found as strong predictors of organizational agility which can probably play part in supply chain performance. Use of IOT and DDIPCs basically enhance flexibility in organizational operations resulting in their smooth functioning. So, this study has tried to analyze the impact of use of IOT and DDIPCs on supply chain performance of manufacturing sector in Thailand in mediating role of organizational agility. Around 67 organizations have been used as sampling frame as data has been collected from their employees through questionnaire-based survey which was subsequently analyzed through SPSS and AMOS by applying tests of CFA and SEM. Hypotheses testing has concluded that both use of IOT and DDIPCs significantly increase supply chain performance through direct and indirect paths. Organizational agility has been also found as significant mediator in respective relationship. Originality in this study lies in association between use of IOT and DDIPCs with supply chain performance which was not tested before. This study has its implications and future research indications too.
