Tujuan kertas ini adalah untuk mengenal pasti halangan dan permasalahan yang dihadapi oleh industri pembuatan terutamanya di kalangan PKS dalam melaksanakan PRP. Kajian ini dijalankan melalui kaedah pengedaran soal selidik kepada 305 sampel kajian yang terdiri dari syarikat pembuatan perindustrian kecil dan sederhana (PKS). Hasil kajian menyenaraikan halangan yang wujud dalam pelaksanaan PRP di industri seperti; kurangnya tenaga kerja; jurang komunikasi; kurang pengetahuan mengenai PRP; kurang kepercayaan; dan kurangnya sokongan daripada pihak atasan. Penulisan kajian ini adalah membincangkan kajian-kajian terdahulu yang meluas mengenai isu-isu yang berkaitan PRP. Kajian ini turut mencadangkan penambahbaikan dalam PRP yang mungkin dapat dijadikan rujukan oleh penyelidik akan datang.

Integrated Supply Chain

A move towards integrated supply chain management (ISCM) in the various manufacturing industries, with the integration of the different associated processes involved, is gaining prominence as a tool for achieving competitive advantage over rival companies. Various studies have been carried out on ISCM globally, with possible problems affecting competitiveness and effective customer service identified as nonintegration, ranging from internal processes to suppliers. This paper reviewed literature on the application of ISCM in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) Manufacturing industry in Nigeria. This involved collecting, sorting, grouping and analysing of available papers to identify strengths and weaknesses and suggest the direction for future research. The review shows that, although some research has been conducted onISCM in the manufacturing industry, little has been done in the FMCG manufacturing industry globally, and in particular, ISCM is still in the initial stages of adoption in Nigeria. The aim of this review is to unearth the extent of application and implementation of ISCM in the FMCG industry in Nigeria, and advise on the status of ISCM and problems confronting its implementation and use. This paper posits that, based on the reviewed literature, there is a need for the FMCG manufacturing industry in Nigeria to implement ISCM, considering its importance as iterated by both academics and business managers. This review was carried out focusing on literature relating to ISCM in the FMCG Manufacturing industry and does not cover the entire manufacturing industry.
