Abstract

The marine product sector in West Sumatra shows significant export potential but faces challenges in distribution efficiency and quality. Logistics partnerships and supply chain integration are key drivers for improving performance across industries. This study examines the relationship between logistics partnerships and supply chain integration and their effects on distribution performance of marine commodities in West Sumatra. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), official secondary data from BPS West Sumatra, Pelindo Teluk Bayur, KKP, and national export statistics over four years were analyzed. The results indicate a significant positive effect of logistics partnerships on supply chain integration, which in turn significantly enhances distribution performance by reducing lead time and increasing export volume and value. The study concludes that optimizing marine product distribution in West Sumatra requires strengthening strategic logistics partnerships and deeper integration of processes among all stakeholders from capture and cultivation to export port.

Abstract

Global manufacturing systems face increasing disruptions from geopolitical tensions, pandemic aftershocks, and transportation bottlenecks, threatening supply chain stability and industrial confidence. This study examines supply chain fortitude as an integrative capability encompassing endurance, flexibility, and anticipatory governance. A mixed-method approach was applied, combining cross-regional survey data, structural equation modeling (SEM), and in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that redundancy capacity and digital readiness significantly enhance supply chain fortitude, while disruption frequency negatively affects industrial confidence and decision agility. However, excessive digital investment shows diminishing returns without supplier diversification and organizational alignment. The study highlights that technological integration alone is insufficient, emphasizing the importance of structural and behavioral support mechanisms. Overall, supply chain fortitude is identified as a multidimensional construct integrating technological capability, structural redundancy, and psychological assurance to sustain strategic decision-making under persistent global uncertainty.
