The effect of inventory management techniques on supply chain efficiency. The moderating role of process innovation

Effective inventory management techniques are crucial for optimizing the flow of goods across the supply chain. This study aims to determine the moderating effect of process innovation on the relationship between inventory management techniques and supply chain efficiency. A survey method was used in this study. The data collected was cross-sectional, meaning it was gathered at a single point in time. There is a strong positive effect of supplier relationship management on supply performance. Additionally, employee commitment positively and significantly affects supply performance. However, the effect of employee commitment on the relationship between supplier relationship management and supply performance is not statistically significant. When effectively implemented, inventory management techniques can be seen as unique resources specific to an organization. This study aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the interdependence of inventory management techniques, process innovation, and supply chain efficiency.
