Abstract:
ABSTRACT
Supply chain uncertainty associated with global supply chain management has
created a discourse among practitioners and academics. This event is evident in
the businesses as supply chain management uncertainties keep growing, thus
threatening the entire network flow and performance. This study aims to provide
empirical evidence for supply risk management moderating supply chain
uncertainty and performance in poultry firms. The study used an explanatory
research design backed by a quantitative research approach. The population of
the study was 182 registered members of the Dormaa Poultry Farmers
Association. The census sampling technique was used for the study, thus all 182
registered members. The study's findings showed that the predictive capacity of
supply chain uncertainty to cause a positive but weak variance in performance
was statistically significant, and the predictive capacity of supply risk
management to cause a positive but weak variance in performance was also
statistically significant. Again, the findings showed that supply risk
management significantly moderated the relationship between Uncertainty and
performance. It was, thus, concluded that the management of these poultry
farms can, therefore, put in place clear measures that can help identify and deal
appropriately with Uncertainty and supply risk management practices that
brought about the positive variance performance. It was recommended for the
various poultry farms to institutionalize periodic research in its management of
Uncertainty to timely diagnose grey areas in its Uncertainty that could be well managed scientifically to improve the impact and policies on the performance
of the poultry industry
