Abstract

This study aims to analyze the direct influence of material flow and financial flow on supply chain performance, and also analyze the indirect influence through supplier relationship management on supply chain performance. This research is explorative with a survey technique as a data collection tool. Exogenous variables in this study are material flow and financial flow, endogenous variables are supply chain management performance and supplier relationship management as mediating variables. Material flow is the description of the transportation of raw materials, pre-fabricated parts, components, integrated objects, and final products as a flow of entities. The term applies mainly to advanced modeling of supply chain management. The indicators are inventory quantity, lead time, and out-of-stock. The population in this study was 124 business actors, with a sample of 100 business actors. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Questionnaires were used as primary data collection tools, which were then analyzed with the help of Smart Partial Least Squares analysis techniques. The results of the analysis show that there is a direct and significant influence of material and financial flow on supply chain management performance. In fact, supplier relationship management significantly mediates the influence of material flow and financial flow on supply chain management performance. Also, supplier relationship management has a significant influence on supply chain management performance. This means that both material flow, financial flow, and supplier relationship management play an important role in improving supply chain management performance. This research focuses only on and is limited to industries in Indonesia. Empirical assessments of the response diversity of suppliers provide buyer companies with an effective means to enhance their supply base management for resilience. The research result is useful for teaching to understand how to increase supply chain performance.
