| description | Malaysian 3rd Industrial Master Plan was developed to improve the country global
competitiveness by positioning Malaysia as a major manufacturing hub and service
provider in the global supply chain. To achieve this, it is suggested that Malaysian
manufacturers especially SME should be involved in supply chain collaboration in
their business operations. However, it is discovered that there are very few reported
research on the supply chain collaboration activities among Malaysian SME
manufacturers. The objective of this research is to uncover the supply chain
collaboration activities among Malaysian SME manufacturers with their trading
partners. This is to be done by determining the level of supply chain collaboration of
Malaysian SME manufacturer and investigating the reason Malaysian SME
manufacturers supply chain collaborations is at that level. In order to achieve the
above objective, a mixed method of quantitative approach using survey method is
employed to determine the level of supply chain collaboration and qualitative
approach using personal interview method is employed to find out the reason for
why Malaysian SME manufacturers’ supply chain collaboration is at that level. This
research discovered that the supply chain collaboration of Malaysian SME
manufactures with their trading partners is at minimal level. This is due to their
current business relationship that they have with their trading partners do not
required them to collaborate at higher level. On the other hand, Malaysian SME
manufacturer are willing to have a high level of supply chain collaboration if long
term business relationship could be established. Therefore, it is concluded that the
type of business relationship or cooperation with trading partners can determine
level of supply chain collaboration. |
