This paper examines the relationship between output monitoring and supplier performance. It
focuses specifically focuses on buyer-supplier exchange relationships in delivering essential
medicines in Tanzania, and examines the mediation effects of buyer-supplier integration on
supplier’s flexibility and supplier logistics performance. The resource-based view of the firm was
used to frame the relationships by considering output monitoring efforts and the buyer-supplier
integration as resources aimed to improve performance. A survey data of 111 public-owned
health facilities selected randomly after stratifying them into hospitals, health centres and
dispensaries was used for final analysis. Structural equation modelling using Smart PLS3 was
employed to ascertain the relationship between output monitoring, buyer-supplier integration
and supplier logistics performance and flexibility. The research hypotheses focused on both
direct and indirect effects. The results revealed that the buyer-supplier integration partially
mediates the effects of output monitoring on supplier logistics performance while fully mediating
the effects of output monitoring on supplier flexibility. The results of the study imply that buyersupplier integration is critical for multiple dimensions of performance improvement |
