The effects of an integrative supply chain strategy on customer service and financial performance: an analysis of direct versus indirect relationships
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the performance implications of an integrated supply chain strategy, with customer service performance followed by financial performance as performance constructs, and showed positive direct relationships between integrated information technologies and supply chain integration, and customer service and firm performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of an integration strategy on competitive capabilities and business performance: An exploratory study of consumer products manufacturers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the mediating role of manufacturing-based competitive capabilities in the relationship between supply chain integration and business performance, and they find that manufacturing capabilities mediate the relationship.

The impact of human resource management practices on operational performance: recognizing country and industry differences
Sohel Ahmad,Roger G. Schroeder +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors generalize the efficacy of seven HRM practices proposed by Pfeffer in the context of country and industry, focusing primarily on the effects of these practices on operations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Managing beyond the factory walls: Effects of four types of strategic integration on manufacturing plant performance
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the integration of strategic objectives and process knowledge that a manufacturing factory collects from its external interfaces and use a path analytic approach to simultaneously assess the contributions of the various types of integration to manufacturing-based competitive capabilities and business level performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A resource-based view of manufacturing strategy and the relationship to manufacturing performance
TL;DR: It is empirically demonstrated that competitive advantage in manufacturing (as measured by superior plant performance) results from proprietary processes and equipment which, in turn, is driven by external and internal learning.

Lasting Improvements in Manufacturing Performance: In Search of a New Theory
Kasra Ferdows,Arnoud De Meyer +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the nature of the trade-offs among manufacturing capabilities is more complex than has been assumed, and they suggest a model which shows how this can be done: to build cumulative and lasting manufacturing capability, management attention and resources should go first toward enhancing quality, then, while the efforts to enhance quality are further expanded, attention should be paid to improve also the dependability of the production system, and finally, while efforts on the previous two are further enhanced, production flexibility (or reaction speed).
