Abstract

The purpose of this research is to investigate level of activities based on operations under Flexible Supply Chain Management in automotive-part manufacturers and relationship of operations against their business performances. A survey-based research approach is used as a method of study. The result of this research showed that the group of manufacturers emphasize on three areas of practices which are customer’s requirement comprehension, customer relationship improvement and pull-based production system. For correlation analysis, inventory reduction and supplier relation improvement have relation to business performances with statistically significant. It presented that when the levels of implementing the two practices are high, the indicators of companies’ performances are low. It is noted that the result of the study will guide the direction for planning and reviewing flexible supply chain of automotive-part manufacturers in order to efficiently improve their operations within supply chain.
