The primary focus of this study was to understand supplier relationship management
and operational performance of manufacturing firms in Tanzania. The special focus
was to understand how supplier development, supplier involvement and information
sharing all influence operational performance. The researcher relied on both
questionnaires and interviewing methods of data collection. The quantitative data
(from questionnaire) was then analyzed by using regression analysis. Qualitative
data from interviews was used to validate the findings of the quantitative findings in
the discussion of the findings. The results from the analysis revealed that supplier
development had a significant relationship on the operational performance (β=0.535,
t=4.780, P=0.000). Similarly, information sharing was observed to significantly
influence operational performance (β=0.339, t=3.289, P=0.002). In addition to that,
the results of the analysis revealed that supplier involvement exhibited no significant
relationship with performance of the procuring entity (β=0.026, t=0.238, P=0.813).
In that regard, the researcher was able to conclude that supplier development and
information sharing play a great role in influencing the supply chain performance.
The researcher proceeded to recommend that studies that address supplier
relationship management be done in other types of industries in order to fully
understand the dynamics of supplier relationships and how they affect organizational
performance. |
