The effect of supply chain information integration and logistics integration on firm performance

چکیده
Supply chain integration involves both material and information integration. While the aspects of information technology and information sharing have been included in many studies, the logistics integration of the material flow between supply chain partners has been largely absent in empirical research. In this paper, we investigate the integration of both information and materials between supply chain partners. Using data set from 232 Australian firms, we found that logistics integration has a significant effect on operations performance. Information technology capabilities and information sharing both have significant effects on logistics integration. Furthermore, strategic supplier relationships have both direct and indirect effects on the operational performance of the firm; with the indirect effect via information integration and logistics integration.
