“…Li, Ragu-Nathan, Ragu-Nathan, & Subba Rao, 2006). While in the context of fast developing countries like Malaysia there are few studies in which researchers investigated the impact of some variables such as supply chain management practices on a firm's performance (e.g., Agus & Hajinoor, 2012;Chong, Chan, Ooi, & Sim, 2011;Wong & Wong, 2011). Moreover, reviewing the literature shows that most of the studies considered the overall firm's performance rather than different categories of performance such as financial, market, and operational.…”

Aim/PurposeAn important objective of any firm is escalation of its performance and the achievement of competitive advantages. Supply chain agility plays a prominent role to enhance the level of firm's performance. Moreover, information technology (IT) plays a foundational role in supply chain management practices. Hence, this study proposes the relationship between IT integration as the competency of IT and firm's market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Background Many studies have been done to date on the impact of supply chain agility on overall firm's performance. However, the effect of an agile supply chain on firm's market performance per se needs to be studied. Furthermore, there is a gap in the literature about the effect of IT competency such as IT integration on firm's market performance both directly and through mediating role of supply chain agility. Recommendation for ResearchersThe first direction this study gives to researchers is to consider the different factors which have significant effect on the agility of supply chain, particularly the IT related ones. The second direction is about the study on the effect of IT competencies and supply chain agility on each category of firm's performance separately instead of considering it as a one construct. Impact on Society Although this is a conceptual study, it can highlight the importance of IT competency not only in our daily life, but also in our businesses and industries. Future ResearchThis study only proposes some relationships based on theory and literature. Future researchers can test these proposed relationships in different contexts and IT Integration and Supply Chain Agility on Market Performance (A Proposed Study) 100 compare the results. Furthermore, this study proposes the relationships for large manufacturing sector in developing countries. The model could be tested for SMEs as well. In addition, the proposed theoretical model in this study might be tested in both developing as well as developed countries to compare the results which will be contributed to the body of knowledge.

“…The emphasis of SCM has changed in the past two decades: approaches to SCM are much more systematic, focusing on relationships involved; market competition is no longer based on a company versus company model, but instead is a supply chain versus supply chain, and in order to see success, companies need to achieve integration that is external to the company, with customers and suppliers (Stuart, 1997;Dossenbach, 1999;O'Marah, 2001;Frohlich & Westbrook;2001;Bruce, Daly, & Towers, 2004;Agus & Hajinoor, 2012). A key feature of present day business is the idea that it is supply chains that compete, not companies, and the success or failure of supply chains is ultimately determined in the marketplace by the end consumer.…”

In order to be competitive in today's challenging business environment, manufacturing companies must have the ability to effectively integrate internal functions within a company and effectively link them to the external operations of suppliers and supply chain members. This could be done thanks to the implementation of an effective Supply Chain Management System. The aim of the research is to contribute to the literature panorama on Lean SupplyChain Management through the analysis of a case study of Alpha, Italian company in the arm industry, which has developed a new model called "Free-Pass", and to give a useful, realistic tool, expendable by companies that want to open up to Lean Supply Chain. A qualitative approach has been chosen, based on a longitudinal, single case study; a semi-structured interview has been carried out per year, with the company's Quality Manager from 2009, the year in which the "Free-Pass" model has been implemented, until 2016. Relevant secondary data were also used such as company reports, web site, and performance quantitative data. The implementation of the Free-Pass model across the company leads to a great change, both in terms of the transformation of the production process in a process flow "pulled", both at the organizational level, with the reduction of hierarchical levels, the process orientation, cross-functional teams, the streamlining of functions, and above all, the involvement of suppliers. This implied a radical change in thinking from management and from all the staff and a true "cultural revolution" for the company itself and for its suppliers, but it bought to both financial and organizational benefits. In conclusion the research has shown the importance of implementing quality relationships with suppliers based on trust and cooperation in order to achieve mutual benefits. The value of the research is given by the definition of a new model of Lean Supply Chain as an important tool of operation management which is expendable by companies.

“…Adaptable to all economic sectors, the lean is currently at the heart of the SCM, through the application of a set of tools and methodology which are aimed at the elimination streaming of all the waste. According to [5], the main advantages are the reduction of costs, the increase of productivity and the shortening of lead time.…”

In a highly competitive environment, cost reduction and optimization of the supply chain are more than ever a strategic issue for companies. In this sense, lean manufacturing is a lever that allows the company to continuously reduce the time required for the transformation of raw materials into finished products, eliminating waste and with the aim to meet the growing and diverse needs of these customers. In this paper, it based on the latest studies in this field in order to highlight the relationship between supply chain and lean manufacturing at reducing costs, eliminating waste and non-value added. Then it highlights the impact of lean manufacturing on the reactivity of the supply chain through inventory reduction, cycle time and flow acceleration. Finally, it presents the role and expectations of the supplier in the context of the merger Lean Manufacturing and Supply Chain. This research has enabled to understand the impact of lean manufacturing concepts on supply chain strategies.
