Information Technology Factors Affecting Supply Chain Collaboration in Automotive Component Manufacturing in Indonesia

Abstract

There is a growing need for collaborative supply chain management. This collaboration has been attracting the researchers due to their critical impact to improve business value. The use of information technology (IT) which is presently widely used in almost areas of business and engineering is considered prerequisites of today’s complex supply chain. Current study shows that a broad array of references in supply chain collaboration especially in identifying influencing factors on Information Technology are partial and limited. This study was aimed at reviewing a comprehensive understanding of dominant IT factors that influence successful supply chain management. Based on thorough analysis on the state of the art literature review, a proposed construct of influencing IT factors in supply chain collaboration is offered. Multiple linear regression technique is used to model the proposed construct. The result of analysis suggests that a further research on identifying factors and determining samples is required to model accuracy.
