The impact of logistics performance on organizational performance in a supply chain context
Purpose -The paper's aim is to theorize and assess a logistics performance model incorporating logistics performance as the focal construct with supply chain management strategy as antecedent and organizational performance, both marketing and financial, as consequences. Design/methodology/approach -Data from a national sample of 142 plant and operations managers are analyzed using a structural equation modeling methodology. Findings -The results indicate that logistics performance is positively impacted by supply chain management strategy and that both logistics performance and supply chain management strategy positively impact marketing performance, which in turn positively impacts financial performance. Neither supply chain management strategy nor logistics performance was found to directly impact financial performance. Research limitations/implications -To compete at the supply chain level, manufacturers must adopt a supply chain management strategy. Such a strategy requires integration and coordination of key external processes such as purchasing, selling, and logistics with supply chain partners. In this study the focus is limited to the impact of logistics performance on organizational performance within a supply chain context. Practical implications -As manufacturers work to improve the logistics processes, they support their organization's supply chain strategy, resulting in improved performance for the overall supply chain and ultimately their manufacturing organizations. Originality/value -Organizational managers are being asked to focus directly on supply chain functions such as logistics to bolster the competitiveness of the supply chains in which their organizations are integral partners. Does such a supply chain focus ultimately result in improved organizational performance? This study provides evidence that a supply chain focus will enhance logistics performance, which will ultimately result in improved organizational performance.

In a fast and continuously dynamic competitive business environment as is the situation in the manufacturing sector, manufacturing firms are expected to give more consideration to their logistics management applications in order to have higher production efficiency and achieve better competitive advantage. Thus, this study empirically examined the relationship between logistics management and performance of 122 selected firms within Rivers State, Nigeria. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed through the use of mean, Pearson's moment correlation and t-statistics to test the relationship between the variables of the study. The findings showed that logistics management has an influence on the rate of production output, market share and profitability. More so, inventory and warehouse management helps in eliminating production short-outs; enhances effectiveness of the production system and improves performance of manufacturing firms. Therefore, firms should reorganize their warehousing and inventory systems to suit specific needs of product demand to involve sustainable increase production output, sales and market share.

The most important factors in the success of companies' performance in the logistics sector can be explained as quality service, delivery speed, flexibility, cost management and realization of innovation activities. These capabilities draw attention as the ones that logistics companies should have. With the development of these capabilities, it is possible to be among the successful companies and to be one of the leading and/or leading companies of the sector in an intense competitive environment. Another important concept is customer relationship management. Because valuing customers, the attitude and behavior shown towards customers should be fulfilled in the best way to be successful in customer relationship management. In the understanding of business-to-business service, it is necessary to give importance to creating satisfaction by analyzing the demands and needs of the enterprises correctly. Logistics companies also need to attach importance to sustainability in the supply chain so that customers can also create satisfaction. Because logistics companies are also important in terms of performance criteria for customers to be able to make and maintain deliveries at the time they want in the supply chain. In order to be successful in logistics capabilities and performance criteria, sustainability in the supply chain must be ensured. Disruption of the supply chain can cause the logistics activities to be adversely affected, causing the customers to be harmed and put in a difficult situation. For this reason, it is necessary to act with a sustainable management approach and to take measures by determining alternative ways against all negative situations that may occur. Otherwise, both production and service disruptions may occur, and in this case, both the service recipient and the service provider will be in a difficult situation. Research centers were carried out in logistics companies located in Istanbul. Since the variables representing the research model and the scales representing the variables consist of questions that senior and middle level managers can answer, data were collected from 603 senior and middle managers. Analyzes were made using the smartpls program. As a result of the analyzes, it is supported by the hypotheses that logistics capability, customer relationship management, and supply chain sustainability have positive effects.
A study of factors affecting supply chain performance
Journal of Physics: Conference Series
In the present global market, the competition is not between the companies but between the supply chains. The comparison of performance measures of supply chains helps to identify a good supply chain. The best performing supply chains may survive over a long period. The performance of a supply chain is affected by various internal and external factors. The objective of this paper is to identify and conduct a detailed study of the major factors affecting the supply chain performance. The factors are identified by reviewing various literature in the supply chain field. In this respect, a total of 54 literature are reviewed. The major factors identified as supply chain structure, inventory control policy, information sharing, customer demand, forecasting method, lead time and review period length. The optimum selection of parameters of these factors improves the supply chain performance.

In a global economy, competitive and dynamic environment, logistics managements is an important strategic factor for increasing competitiveness. The significance of logistics management had evolved from a more passive and cost minimization oriented activity to a key success factor for firm competitiveness. There was therefore an emerging consensus about the need for companies to handle logistics issues together with economic and business issues. The performance of logistics systems was typically related to delivery service, logistics cost and tied up capital. Customers increasingly expected shorter delivery times and more accurate services and logistics management was perhaps most easily conceptualized in a third party logistic service provider like Gas Depot Atem. The study also looked at the effect of the logistics performance as the moderating variable on the relationship between logistics management and the firm Performance. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the influence of transport management on firm performance, evaluate the influence of inventory management on firm performance, examine the influence of order processing on firm performance, establish the influence of information flow on firm performance, and evaluate the moderating effect of logistics information system on the relationship between the logistics management and firm performance. The study used both descriptive and explanatory research designs. The target population for this study was the workers of Gas Depot Atem (about a 100). Our sample was about 40 workers of gas depot. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered through the e-mail survey and hand delivery. Secondary data was obtained from both published and unpublished records. The questionnaire was tested for validity and reliability. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to analyses the data with the assistance of SPSS software program version 22. The study found that transport management; inventory management; order process management and information flow management were individually predictors of firm performance with inventory management being the most significant predictor. The study concludes that logistics management has the potential of positively influencing performance on firms in terms of cost reduction, timely delivery, reduced lead time, demand realization, increased market share, quality products and customer service satisfaction. Consequently, this study provides firms' managers with insights of how firms can develop a competitive edge through the implementation of logistics management. This study therefore, recommends that factors associated with logistics management need to be considered by firms in their performance strategic plans as they have significant impact on performance.
