SUPPLY CHAIN AGILITY AND ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF MANUFACTURING FIRMS IN RIVERS STATE
Keywords:
network integration, virtual integration, efficiency, profitability
Abstract
The study's overarching goal is to use empirical evidence to draw conclusions on the connections between supply chain agility, organisational performance, and manufacturing firms in the state of Rivers. Researchers conducted a study using statistical analysis to test all proposed ideas, after collecting numerical data through a survey. The study included all officially registered manufacturing companies in Rivers State, as most businesses were situated there. Rivers State has 29 legally registered manufacturing businesses. Six delegates were sent to each company, one from each of the six departments that comprised the organisation: purchasing, manufacturing, marketing, research and development, and customer service. The sample size for the quantitative study was 144 individuals. Researchers evaluated the internal reliability using the Cronbach's Alpha method. Each item needed to score above 0.7 on the Likert scale for this method to be applied. All hypotheses were confirmed as the data table showed strong positive connections (0.921, 0.874, 0.872, and 0.886) between the variables. The data indicated a positive relationship between all aspects of supply chain agility and the performance of manufacturing businesses in Rivers State. Researchers in Rivers State discovered that the performance of industrial enterprises would enhance if managers maintained professional relationships with their colleagues.
