Abstract
This study explored the correlation between system integration of automation and autonomation supply chain strategies and manufacturing firms' operational performance with a human touch, due to a dearth of studies in this area. Based on this limitation, the researchers sought to investigate this lacuna thereby bridging a knowledge gap. The study's priorities were to find out how system integration, agility and leanness of automation and supply chain strategy affect and enhance manufacturing firms' operational performance. In course of the study, data were obtained from 415 employees of manufacturing firms in Nigeria with the help of a structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistical approaches, as well as OLS estimation techniques, were used to evaluate the data. As a consequence of the studies, it was discovered that system integration of automation and autonomation supply chain strategies has a significant relationship with operational performance of manufacturing firms.
期刊介绍:
Today"s businesses have become extremely complex. The interplay of the three Cs, viz. consumers, competition and convergence, has thrown up new challenges for organisations all over the world. Sensitivity of economies to the external environment coupled with the turbulent process of globalisation has added the highest degree of uncertainty and unpredictability to business processes. To top it all, the effect of globalisation has shifted the balance of power in favour of the customer, though it may have opened a plethora of opportunities for all, in the form of variety and choice. For a variety of reasons, the pressures of competitive forces have enhanced product changes, supercharged by shortening product and technology development lifecycles.
