Abstract:
Supply chain practices form the core part of organizational success. This paper aimed to examine
the effects of Supply chain practices on the organizational performance of Alle Bejimlaa. The
research used descriptive and quantitative statistical analysis methods and employed
questionnaires and structured in-depth interviews employeed for data collection. The findings
indicated that supplier segmentation was practiced to a great extent while supplier performance
management practices were practiced to a moderate extent. The other three elements, SRM
governance , supplier development practices and information sharing were found to be practiced
to a small extent. The model developed using multiple linear regression to estimate the effect of
supply chain practices on organizational performance resulted in only two significant variables
Supplier Performance Management and Information Sharing. The results suggest that at Alle, the
supply chain strategies/practices are very weak and are not considered a strong determinant of
organizational performance. The findings indicated that only a few of the elements of supply chain
practices are considered to be practiced to a great extent. It is, therefore, recommended that Alle
start with a strong supplier segmentation, set-up a clear responsibility and guide to govern SRM,
improve its performance management practice to make sure Alle and its supplier partners benefit
from the partnership, and take advantage of current state of technology to collaborate and
information sharing with its supply partne
