Dynamic capabilities became a manufacturing industry benchmark for surviving and adapting to the dynamic environment change, including the COVID-19 pandemic. In a manufacturing company, supply chain management performance becomes the main activity that must be effective and efficient. Two supply chain drivers were observed in this study to perform optimal supply chain management, namely cost reduction and customer satisfaction, which became the company's drivers in establishing partnerships in purchasing and logistics, affecting the company's purchasing and logistics performance. This study investigated the effect of cost reduction and customer satisfaction on the partnerships in purchasing and logistics and purchasing and logistics performance.
