Impacts of, Supply Chain, Integration, on Operational ,Performances: in The ,Case of, Brothers, Flour, and Biscuit, Factory, in Adama Town

Abstract

The, main, target, of, the, study, is, to, assess, the, impacts, of, supply, chain, integration, on, operational, performance, in, brother’s, flour, and, biscuit, factory., To, maintaining, competitive, advantage, the, contribution, of, collaboration, among, supply, chain, partners, and, organized, management, system, across, organizational, practice, is, quite, substantial, to, stay, in, the, competition., In, today’s, business, world, the, central, concept, of, supply, chain, management, is, taken, by, the, idea, of, integration,, because, the, practice, of, SCM, requires, a, systematic, integration, processes, starting, from, sourcing,, to, manufacturing,, and, to, distribution, along, the, supply, chain, .The, research, design, in, this, study, used, descriptive, and, explanatory, research., An, explanatory, research, design, was, employed, with, from, 150, total, populations, a, sample, of, 108, employees, though, stratified, sampling., A, questionnaire, was, used, as, a, research, tool, for, collecting, data., Baseline, data, were, captured, from, some, informants, and, from, secondary, data., The, collected, data, was, analyzed, using, both, descriptive, statistics, (mean, &, standard, deviation), and, inferential, statistics, (correlation, and, linear, regression)., Main, findings, of, the, study, depicts, that,, there, is, high, integration, along, the, supply, chain, as, the, mean, values, of, the, four, supply, chain, dimension, (internal, integration,, customer, integration,, information, integration, and, supplier, integration)were, above, the, minimum, requirement(i.e., less, than, the, mean, value, of, 2.5).Moreover,, dimension, information, integration, of, supply, chain, integration, had, a, significant, effect, on, operational, performance, of, the, factory,, in, which, internal, integration,, customer, integration,, and, supplier, integration, dimension, had ,failed, to, signify, the, effect, and, , needs, to, include, other, supply, chain, variables., Finally,, the, results, on, the, conclusion, entails, us, that, the, four, research, questions, developed, in, this, study, were, considerably, rated, high, by, the, employees, which, actually, indicates, the, supply, chain, integration, is, practiced, , at, the, required, level, of, its, employees., And, also,, the, study, recommends, proper, internal, integration,, supplier, integration, and, customer, integration, in, order, to, bring, effective, operational, performance
