Abstract

The purpose of this study empirically verified impact of strategic and operational integration between first-tier supplier and their supplier and strategic and operational integration between first-tier supplier and their buyer on operation performance. In order to achieve our goal, we tested reliability, validity and path coefficient using structural equation modeling-partial least square (SEM-PLS) over 284 first-tier manufacturing suppliers data that Korea Productivity Center (KPC) surveyed in 2013. This study results indicated that operational integration between first-tier supplier and their supplier or buyer has positive impact on production process flexibility. Meanwhile, strategic integration between first-tier supplier and buyer has positive impact on production flexibility. On the other hand, strategic integration between first-tier supplier and supplier has negative impact on production flexibility. And production process flexibility has positive impact on production flexibility. By empirically testing to departmentalize level and scope of supply chain integration, this study has academic and managerial implications from first-tier perspective on.

본 연구는 복잡한 공급사슬에서 1차 협력사의 공급사슬통합에 초점을 두고 있다. 즉, 1차 협력사와 공급기업(2차 협력사)과의 전략적 운영적 통합 그리고 1차 협력사와 구매기업(완제품업체)의 전략적 운영적 통합이 1차 협력사의 운영성과(유연성)에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 규명하고 있다. 이를 위해, 1차 협력사에 해당하는 284개 기업을 대상으로 구조방정식(PLS)을 이용하여 신뢰성, 타당성 및 경로를 검정하였다. 분석결과 1차 협력사와 이해당사자들(완제품업체와 2차 협력사)의 운영적 통합은 생산 프로세스 유연성에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 한편, 1차 협력사와 완제품업체와의 전략적 통합은 생산 유연성에 정의 영향을 미쳤지만, 1차 협력사와 2차 협력사와의 전략적 통합은 생산 유연성에 부정적 영향을 미쳤다. 마지막으로 1차 협력사의 생산 프로세스 유연성은 자사의 생산 유연성에 긍정적 영향을 미쳤다. 본 연구의 시사점은 공급사슬통합의 수준과 범위 그리고 기업 성과에 직 간접적인 영향을 세분화하여 규명하였다는 점에서 의의가 있다.
