Abstract

Recently, interest in logistics and supply chain management (SCM) has grown explosively through exposure to fierce competition and changing circumstances. One of the main themes in SCM is integration along the supply chain in order to improve performance. This paper intends to investigate the impact of SCM competencies on managerial performance such as ROA and cash flow. For analyzing SCM competencies, a SCM Logistics Scorecard (LSC) has been utilized as a self-evaluation tool for participated manufacturing companies in Japan. From the LSC database, three factors, namely, SCM organizational ability, responsiveness and IT utilization ability, were extracted as SCM competencies. Using the corresponding companies' financial bottom line indices, high correlations between these indices and SCM competencies were observed. At the same time, market uncertainty was taken up and a framework was developed to investigate its moderating effect on SCM competencies and financial bottom lines. From the results, uncertainty could be considered as a requirement for efficient SCM. In order to correspond to this uncertainty, the importance of SCM organizational ability was confirmed. On the other hand, it has been verified that IT is necessary, but not sufficient, to lead to enhanced managerial performance.
