goes without saying that supply chain management has played major role in every business locations under globalization and intensive world-wide competition More and more firms have been aware of importance of supply chain management (SCM) and attempt to enhance the effectiveness of SCM in order to secure their competitive advantages This paper aims at investigating the relations between supply chain practices (Strategic supplier partnership, Product creation, Purchasing/Supply planning, Sourcing Production (manufacturing), internal lean practices (Fast and Lean)) and adidas supply chain performance in a pull-based supply chain A framework expressing the hypothesized relations among the above-mentioned variables has been developed and validated by examining the validity and reliability of measurement scale, the findings add credence to the positive effects of Product creation, Purchasing/Supply planning, Internal lean practices (Fast and Lean) as antecedents to higher performance in the supply chain This work can support managers in taking supply chain design h decisions and in defining countermeasures to mitigate their effects on supply chain performance Keywords:

every business locations under globalization and intensive world-wide competition An increased focus on SCM as an operational phenomenon that can be leveraged to achieve superior organizational performance (e.g., Hult, Ketchen, &Slater, 2004) has been studied A supply chain (SC) is defined as the “network of facilities and activities that performs the functions of product development, procurement of material from suppliers, the movement of materials between facilities, the manufacturing of products, the distribution of finished goods to customers, and after-market support for sustainment” (Mabert & Venkataramanan, 1998, p.538).SCM is the management of a h network of interconnected businesses involved in the ultimate provision of product and service packages required by end customers (Harland, 1996) SCM is also “a key strategic factor for increasing organizational effectiveness and for better realization of organizational goals such as enhanced competitiveness, better customer care and increased profitability” (Gunasekaran et al.2001, p.71).The major goals of SCM are to minimize non-value-added activities and associated investment cost and operating cost, increase customer responsiveness and flexibility in the supply chain, and enhance bottom-line performance and cost competitiveness (Stewart 1995) A recent study conducted by Petrovic-Lazarevic and Sohal (2002) reported that effective management of the supply chain has been identified as being of significant importance to achieving and sustaining a competitive advantage for firms in the Australian textiles, clothing, and footwear industry Supply chain performance (SCP) is affected by exogenous variables (e.g demand and lead time variability), SCM and planning decisions and supply chain design decisions (Forrester, 1961; Sterman, 2000; Lee et al., 1997a, b; Chen et al., 2000; Sezen, 10 implement continuous improvement (Kaizen) activities which are shared among contract factories, T2 quarterly Kaizen activities are focusing on enhancing quality stability, shortening manufacturing lead-time or increasing productivity that help to better improve SCP On the other hand, “Pull” production system is being implemented in contract factories and suppliers very effectively Reducing cycle-time, down time and inventory helps to improve delivery performance significantly Adidas and contract factories also have planned to push suppliers shorten lead-time The material lead-time is one of key elements to assess supplier‟s performance from the contract factories Therefore, the suppliers always attempt to reduce lead-time in order to satisfy their customers As a word, lean implement practices are positively related to adidas‟s SCP as indicated in both research result and the reality To enhance internal lean practices, the companies should reduce development and commercialization lead-time as short as possible On the other hand, the companies should effectively implement Kaizen activities, “Pull” production Also, h the companies should push their suppliers to shorten material lead-time Supply chain performance In this study, SCP is influenced by factors discussed above The main objective of SCP is to satisfy customer demand regarding delivery timeliness, accurate expected quality and quantity Besides, good SCP would help the companies to reduce manufacturing and delivery costs It also helps the companies introduce their new products to market more quickly It means that the companies will enhance more their competitiveness in the market As research result, the companies should improve the factors: Production creation, Purchasing/supply planning, Internal Lean practice in order to enhance their SCP However, different companies have their own different nature of business and resource Therefore, each company should have its own ways to improve SCM practices in order to enhance its SCP Additional SCM performance measures such as improved quality and reduced overall cost may be integrated into the framework, and their impact on organizational performance can also be studied This might be critical as SCM has strategic implications both at the firm level and the supply chain levels 81 In addition, as recognized by Trent (2004), contrary to the popular notion that effective SCM is only in the hands of managers, this research proposes that, in order to achieve a successful implementation of the supply chain, all units of the SC should fully embrace and understand the strategy Finally, the framework is believed to offer SCM managers a means to identify factors and effectively implement SCM 6.3 Limitations and Suggestions for Future Researches As with most empirical and survey-based research, there are a few limitations experienced during the present study The sample was restricted to some Asia T1 and T2 manufacturers and whilst this serves to control for extraneous sources of variation, caution should be used in extrapolating the results to other contexts The analysis was undertaken with data collected from the side of the manufacturer Since the objective is to determine which factors impact on the performance of the supply chain, then data collected from suppliers as well as end consumers may provide additional insights This suggests that future research may seek to collect data from the supplier‟s side or adopt a h dyadic approach Future research may expand the scope of the enquiry to other regions and may also adopt cross-cultural perspectives In addition, a longitudinal study may provide further insights The study employed perceptual data from a single informant in each of the firms surveyed This raises the issue of possible biases such as over-evaluation on behalf of the respondents Future research may employ alter- native research designs that could include the use of objective data, multiple informants and longitudinal data Furthermore, future study can expand the SCM practices construct by including some additional dimensions, such as total quality management (Tan et al., 2002), crossfunctional coordination (Chen and Paulraj, 2004), and internal integration (Pagell, 2004; Braganza, 2002) Moreover, inter-organizational relationships, such as trust, commitment, shared vision (Li, 2002), risk and award sharing, and agreed supply chain leadership (Min and Mentzer, 2004) The future research then should focus on testing and validating the combined construct Despite these limitations and avenues for future research, a fundamental model was developed that includes the determinants of the big SC in shoes industry to illustrate 82 and give broad knowledgeable access to this industry Given its theoretical foundation and methodological rigor, this study helps close the gap between what we know about shaping SCP and what scholars and managers need to know More broadly, our findings demonstrate the value of juxtaposing the three literature streams of Production creation, Purchasing/supply planning, and Internal Lean practice h 83 References Armstrong, J.S., Overton, T.S., 1977 Estimating nonresponse bias in mail surveys Journal of Marketing Research 14 (3), 396–402
