Integrating Information Sharing into Agile Supply Chain to Improve Supply Chain Performance

Abstract

This study aims to propose a framework for integrating information sharing (IS) into agile supply chain (ASC) to improving supply chain performance (SCP). This through reviewed the studies published in the supply chain and going deep in ASC and its impact on SCP and disclosure of other relevant factors that play a significant role in enhancing the relationship such as IS. Also, it developed a conceptual model to explain the moderating role of IS to reduce the uncertainty of the environment. The most important result presented is a conceptual model for integrating the ASC and IS to improve SCP. Proper implementation of the proposed model will help managers in manufacturing industries to enhance their SCP. Thus, the paper focuses on bridging the gap of IS as a moderator between ASC and SCP, as well as determining the common objective of ASC and IS which is improving SCP.
