The Impact of Corporate SCM Characteristics on Supply Chain Partnerships Agility: Focusing on Construction Equipment Parts Manufacturing and Distribution

In recent years, the corporate management paradigm has been changing from competition between individual companies to competition between supply chains.In other words, since the competitiveness of a single company is limited in the face of fierce global competition, only companies that combine core competencies to build supply chains and pursue integration and optimization from an overall supply chain perspective can survive and grow.In this environment, companies are paying attention to integrated supply chain management based on partnerships as a strategic means to secure a continuous competitive advantage.This study aims to present a research model that explains the influence of a company's supply chain management (SCM) characteristics on supply chain partnerships through agility.To this end, a survey was conducted targeting workers in the construction machinery parts manufacturing and distribution industry, and a total of 105 questionnaires were analyzed.Smart PLS 4.0 was used in this study to verify the model.The research results were summarized as follows: First, reliability had a significant effect on agility.Second, immersion had a significant effect on agility.This means that immersion is also an important factor in the SCM environment.Third, orientation had a significant effect on agility.Fourth, information sharing had a significant effect on agility.Fifth, internal cooperation had no significant effect on agility.Sixth, agility had a significant effect on supply chain partnerships.Therefore, this study confirmed that the SCM characteristics of a company, such as trust, immersion, orientation, information sharing, and internal cooperation, order enhance supply chain partnership through agility.Through this study, companies can respond flexibly to changes in customer needs and solve problems quickly in a changing environment.This will enable them to alleviate uncertainty in the supply chain by accurately grasping the current status and work progress of customers based on trust, commitment to partners, and excellent information sharing.
