1. 1 Introduction
Today’s competition is moving from “among organizations” to“between supply Chains” (Koh et al., 2006) So there is a need for businessexecutives and managers to have a knowledge of essential components ofsupply chain management and the impact of those components on theorganizational performance .
This knowledge will help the manager to give emphasis on thosecomponentsto improvetheproductivityandefficiencyof theorganization

componentsto improvetheproductivityandefficiencyof theorganization(Chow et al., 2006).
Thus, the following research question are explored in this researchwork:
What is the impact of important components of SCMon theperformance of the supply chain per se and also on the organizationalperformance?
Country Japan United States Korea IndiaRatio of logistics cost with GDP (In %) 8.7 8.5 16.5 12.3
1.2 Challenges and Opportunities of supply chain in India
�Taxation structure drives firm’s location decisions
� Poor state of logistics infrastructure –Both Warehouse and Transportation are in the
hand of unorganized sector.
�Large number of customers at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
5
70 % of population are in Rural
37 % People are below poverty line
� Purchasing Power Parity(PPP) is $ 4.4 trillion, third in the world by IMF
� Amul, the Shakti project of Uniliver and the Dabbawalas of Mumbai are cases in point
where Indian firms have come up with unique solutions to supply chain challenges
in India.
�Firms like Asian Paints and Marico industries have achieved higher levels of profitability
and growth than their competitors because of their superior supply chain capabilities
1.3 Objectives of the Study
• To study the relationship between supply chain managementcomponents and supply chain performance of manufacturingenterprises.
• To study the impact of supply chain management componentsand supply chain performanceon organizationalperformanceand supply chain performanceon organizationalperformanceof manufacturing enterprises
