This research aims to examine the effect of supply chain management on firm performance. In this study, the effect of supply chain management on firm performance is intervened by competitive advantage. The sample of this study is manufacturing firms listed on Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI) 2014. By using total sampling procedure, 137 firms were selected as a sample and questionnaires were sent to finance,production or marketing manager through corporate secretary. From 137 set questionnaires were sent, 64 sets were returned and due to missing data/incomplete answer so only 59 sets were analyzed. Data was analyzed by using SPSS program version 20.0. This study found that supply chain management positively effect firm performance. The findings showed that supply chain management positively effect the firm’s competitive advantage. Further, analyzed found that competitive advantage positively effect firm performance. Meanwhile, the results proved that ß value of relationship between the supply chain management and firm performance after entered by competitive advantage was decreased from 0.825 to 0,412. This research conclude that competitive advantage has a role as partial mediation variable.

The purpose of this research is to better understand the impact of supply chain management (SCM) and flexibility on firm performance, as well as the role of competitive advantage in mediating the model in Indonesian agriculture companies. Companies must apply supply chain management and supply chain flexibility (SCF) to boost industrial competitiveness, which impacts firm performance. To ensure that supply chain management supports the company's strategy, companies must evaluate supply chain concerns. From the literature search, researchers have not found any published studies or articles on SCM and SCF in their influence on firm performance through competitive advantage, specifically for corn companies in Indonesia. The population in this study includes agriculture companies in Indonesia. Sampling was carried out using probability sampling technique, the total population of 200 obtained a sample size of 133.333 which can be rounded up to 134 research samples. The inferential statistical method used in the data analysis of this study was the Partial Least Square Version 3 program. The study found that SCM influenced firm performance and SCF had a direct influence on firm performance. However, competitive advantage variable failed in being a mediator in SCM and SCF on firm performance.

Nowadays, more organisations are focusing on how to improve their environmental performance, partly driven by recent regulations in this area. This means that green supply chain management plays an important role over traditional supply chain management. Companies could gain competitive advantage through the proper management of their supply chain activities, for example, purchasing management. In fact, organisations can now generate more business opportunities than their competitors by addressing environmental management successfully. More specifically, it has been identified that implementation of green innovation can become a company’s order winner. However, not many studies have investigated the relationships between the greening of suppliers, green innovation, environmental performance and competitive advantage. The objective of this article is to propose a conceptual model, developed from a review of relevant literature and performance indicators, and to identify how future research can address these issues.

PurposeScholars have recently begun to empirically evaluate the triple-A supply chain, which emphasizes concurrent capabilities in agility, adaptability and alignment across the supply chain to develop sustainable competitive advantage. Complexity theory suggests however that other combinations of triple-A capabilities may be equally effective, especially given a firm's strategic orientation relative to its market and its supply chain. Our research objective was to examine what combinations of these capabilities lead to the same outcome (i.e. high firm performance).Design/methodology/approachWe collected 182 survey responses from a global sample of supply chain managers. Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) was employed to assess effective recipes of agility, adaptability, alignment, supply chain orientation, and market orientation.FindingsOur results revealed four distinct “recipes” (i.e. combinations of agility, adaptability, alignment, supply chain orientation and market orientation) that lead to high levels of firm performance.Originality/valueOur results indicate that firms currently do not necessarily have to concomitantly develop capabilities across all triple-A components. Considering the costs associated with developing each of these capabilities, the findings allow us to derive several theoretical and managerial insights.

This paper, based on a survey of manufacturing firms in south and central China regions, examines the relationship among green supply chain management, competitive advantage and firm performance. By factor analyses, the scale of manufacturing firm’s green supply chain management is obtained. The results show that green supply chain management can be conceptualized as a four dimensional variable: green manufacturing, green purchasing, green distribution and green logistics. Furthermore, after testing research hypotheses by LISREL, we find that these four constructs all have significant effects on competitive advantage, and that green manufacturing and green logistics have significant effects on firm performance. The implications for our findings are also presented.

This study evaluates the effect of supply chain information systems on firm performance in IKAMCO as a empirical case study. For this purpose, The 132 IKAMCO employees selected by simple random sampling responded to a questionnaire. Content validity of the questionnaire has been confirmed by experts in this field; its reliability has been confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha and Fisher’s test. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is used to ensure normality of the data obtained from questionnaire. The hypotheses are tested using SmartPLS software. Results show that the model is well fitted to the data. Findings show that a lean and agile supply chain is effective on supply chain performance and supply chain performance is effective on firm performance. Efficiency of information systems moderates the effect of lean supply chain on supply chain performance and firm performance. However, flexibility of information systems does not moderate the effect of agile supply chain on supply chain performance and firm performance.
