Abstract
Many plants employ a variety of information systems (IS) to streamline business. Informatization, the business use of information systems, is believed to significantly improve plant performance. In this study, we explore the effects of IS on supply chain management (SCM) activities and effect of SCM capability on inventory turnover performance. Data were collected from nine industrialized countries from 2005 to 2007. The results of this study demonstrate the influence of master production scheduling (MPS), material resource planning (MRP), and inventory control systems (ICS) on SCM activities, and SCM capability on SCM performance. This study shows that it is not SCM activities but SCM capability that affects inventory turnover performance. This study offers recommendations to managers and academics and suggests avenues for future research.
