摘要：The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between supply chain management practices (SCMP) and competitive advantage (CA) among manufacturing firms in Malaysia. In line with the following objectives, this study applies a quantitative research approach which will utilize stratified sampling technique and self-administered questionnaire surveys. The respondents for this survey will be the senior managers in operational management levels of various manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Subsequently, the survey data will be analysed to test the research framework and hypotheses. The results of the study can be useful for supply chain practitioners and manufacturers in integrating the appropriate SCMPs to improve supply chain performance and enhance competitive advantage. Additionally, industrial practitioners will also receive insight on how to account for the impact of SCMPs when developing their supply chain for stronger manufacturing performance by establishing competitive advantage. Many organizations are not clear regarding which practices to implement, resulting from poor understanding of what constitutes a thorough set of SCMPs. The results will also suggest successful dimensions of SCMPs that could be implemented in the effort to obtain competitive advantage in the manufacturing industry in Malaysia.
