摘要：The organized garment retailing (OGR) is a sunrise industry in India. This sector has attracted many international players and national big industrial houses.The intense competition has shifted to supply chain (SC) vs. SC for better organizational performance (OP). The players in this sector are using different strategies to cope with the competition. Hence, it is necessary to explore the supply chain practices (SCP) for better OP. In this paper, the twenty five SCP have been classified into five groups using factor analysis. These are; Technology Use (software use, electronic data interchange, electronic process control, e-communication, and radio frequency identification); SC Operations (communication speed, arm's length, strategic purchasing, supply chain process management, and teaming); Customer Attration (customer order, product customization, customer relationship and management, supply chain flexibility, and quality management); Inventory Practices (inventory management, lean practices, demand management, logistics postponement, and outsourcing SC operations); Business Integration (SC integration, supplier involvement, information sharing, SC collaboration, and coordination). Also we have identified six items for OP (market performance, SC competencies, stakeholder satisfaction, innovation and learning, customer satisfaction and financial performance). Here we have tested the hypothesis using structural equation modeling. These are; H1a: The organized garment ratailers understand to use business integration practices for better organizational performance. H2b: The organized garment retailers have adopted customer attraction practices for better organizational performance. H3c: The organized garment retailers were understood to use supply chain operations for better organizational performance H4d: The organized garment retailers don't use better inventory practices for better organizational performance H5e: The organized garment retailers don't have better use of technology for better organizational performance. The focus on these factors shall help organizations to diagnose, manage and improve SC and ultimately organizations shall perform better.
