Supply chain management emphasizes the overall and long-term benefit of all parties on the chain through cooperation and information sharing. Recently, information sharing is attaining the concentration of the researchers. Majority of the previous work is on the individual effect of information and knowledge sharing on performance. This paper aims to focus on the combined consequence of information and knowledge sharing on supplier's operational performance through supplier-buyer relationship. A conceptual model was formulated based on previous literature. A questionnaire based survey was performed. Data from 30 Bangladeshi Readymade Garments Industry were collected through interview and mail survey. The content validity, construct validity, and reliability are tested. Path Analysis is performed for the identification of the validity of the model. The findings show that information sharing is a prerequisite for knowledge sharing and the close supplier-buyer relationship is a vital factor for escalating the supplier's operational performance.

Supply chain management embodies the complete synchronization of the business functions in an organization. It also involves the strategy across these business functions within a particular business and across businesses within the supply chain, for the purposes of improving the long-term performance of the individual companies and the supply chain as a whole<sup>7</sup>. Metal supply chains involves another peculiarity as most of the companies involved are bothered more about the sales volumes rather than giving attention to the improving their supply chains. Companies in this sector often tend to give more importance to product rather than customer aspirations. In order to stay competitive a business has to strengthen its supply chain so that it adds more and more value in its offerings to the customers. This is even more important as customers are increasingly demanding more value in the product they buy. This has led the businesses to make their supply chains flexible and responsive.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine if internal integration, information sharing, and training constitute direct antecedents to organizations’ warning and recovery capabilities. Assuming that organizations periodically face various supply chain risks, the authors intend to show that managers can develop these antecedent competencies in ways that bolster their supply chain risk management (SCRM) capabilities. Design/methodology/approach To understand the relationships between the antecedents and SCRM capabilities, the authors used Q-sorts and confirmatory factor analysis to develop new warning and recovery measures. The authors then collected survey data from 231 hospital supply managers and analyzed these records using structural equation modeling. Findings The results indicate that internal integration and training positively affect organizations’ warning and recovery capabilities, in both a direct and indirect manner. The authors also illustrate how managers can leverage their SCRM capabilities to affect operational performance. Research limitations/implications These results suggest that by developing antecedent competencies like internal integration and training, firms may bolster their warning and recovery capabilities, and ultimately operational performance of the organization. Originality/value The findings provide hospital supply organizations and other inventory management teams with a novel approach to managing an evolving array of supply chain risks. Rather than investing in costly risk management techniques, like inventory stocks, organizations can use internal integration and training to improve their SCRM capabilities.

  This paper is carried out to empirically examine managerial perceptions on the relationship between supply chain collaboration practice and operational performance. The framework suggests that collaborative practice is characterised by three distinct factors: (1) decision synchronisation, (2) information sharing, and (3) incentive alignment, which enable the chain members to effectively match supply with customer demand. An important question is whether or not collaborative practice leads to better operational performance. A survey research was employed to assess the relationship between collaborative practice and operational performance of New Zealand companies. The survey results show significant positive impacts of key factors of collaborative practice on operational performance. The findings suggest that information sharing, decision synchronisation, and incentive alignment are important determinants of operational performance. This study demonstrates that the chain members need to understand the role of different key factors of collaborative practice that can be redesigned to leverage operational performance.

Supply Chain Management is an integrative method or approach to manage the flow of products, information, and money in an integrated manner that involves parties ranging from upstream to downstream consisting of suppliers, factories, distribution networks and logistics services. Supplier is one of the most important links in determining the quality of the product and the speed at which the product reaches the consumer. In the capture fisheries industry in North Sulawesi, the coastal fishing community in North Minahasa Regency is one of the spearheads of the success of the capture fisheries industry supply chain because it functions as a supplier to the fish processing industry in North Sulawesi. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of Supply Chain Management, namely the variables of technical and managerial assistance, information sharing, trust, long-term relationships, and process integration on the competitiveness of coastal fishing communities in North Minahasa Regency. This study uses a causal associative research type. The analytical method used is Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The results showed that technical and managerial assistance, information sharing and trust had a significant effect on the competitiveness of coastal fishing communities in North Minahasa regency, while long-term relationship variables and process integration had no significant effect on the competitiveness of coastal fishing communities in North Minahasa Regency.

With the growing intensity of cooperation, the partners in the manufacturing supply chain (SC) raise stricter requirements for information sharing (IS) within the SC, which has been an effective capability to improve the performance of manufacturing SC. To reveal the influence of IS on SC performance, this paper firstly carries out a theoretical analysis on the influencing factors of IS, SC integration and SC performance, and builds a theoretical model of the IS’s impacting on SC performance. Next, valid index data were obtained by investigating typical manufacturing enterprises in Yangtze River Delta region of China. Then, according to the dynamics system flow of IS influence on SC performance, the proposed theoretical model would be modeled from system dynamics and simulated by Vensim PLE software. The results show that IS among manufacturing SC nodes enhances the SC performance via SC integration; when SC integration is suitable for IS, SC performance will be improved as long as the IS amount is greater than zero; however, excessive IS would reduce the quality and weaken the amount of IS; overall, the degree of IS and SC integration are the key to better SC performance. This implies that how to improve IS among SC partners is a very important thing in manufacturing SC management. And, it also enlightens that enterprise managers should pay attention to establish a high-level trust relationship with SC partners, achieve high-quality IS with a wider range, and then promote the SC system more integrated to improve its operational performance.

Although information sharing is highly desirable in a supply chain, the reality is that most supply chain participants restrict themselves to dyadic information sharing (i.e., information sharing between immediate, first-tier supply chain participants). In this investigation, data is collected from one system that permits extensible information sharing (i.e., information sharing beyond immediate, first-tier supply chain participants) to empirically investigate the determinants of extensible information sharing. The goal of this study is to identify specific actions that promote extensible information sharing. It uses hierarchical regression analysis to examine the contribution of these actions, after controlling for certain dyadic information sharing and industry practices. According to the results, companies that pursue real-time integration of the supply chain and are willing to change the roles and responsibilities of their employees engage in extensible information sharing. Surprisingly, it is found that companies that have a long-term relationship with immediate supply chain participants are less likely to expand their information sharing beyond dyadic information sharing, perhaps because of a perception that their information needs are adequately met.
