Abstract

Purpose- The purpose
of this study is to to analyze the relationship between Supply Chain
Collaboration (SCC) and Supply Chain Performance (SCP).

Methodology- A
conceptual model with theoretical basis is developed as a causal model that can
be operationalized using Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS).
Positive relationships between SCC and SCP is hypothesized and tested with
regression analyses.

Findings-  SCC has significant and positive relation
with SCP, which means SCC may help to increase organization’s SCP related with
ultimate customer.

Conclusion- The
appetite for meeting and exceeding customers’ demands, achieving high customer
satisfaction drives organizations from competition to collaboration. SCC is
becoming more important than ever to achieve better performance in supply chain
between partners. According to study results, SCC has positive effect on SCP.
Organizations may increase the SCP by having SCC between supply chain partners.
