Effect of Supply Chain Disruption on Supply Chain Performance: The Role of Supply Chain Resilience

Abstract

The study investigated the effects of supply chain disruption on supply chain performance: the role of supply chain resilience in food and beverage manufacturing firms in Accra. The research employed the theory of constraints and the notion of dynamic capability. Regarding the study's objectives, seven hypotheses were formulated and investigated further. The study adopted a quantitative technique and an explanatory research design. At the same time, 152 Procurement/purchasing/supply chain managers, Production/Operations managers, and other management of food and beverage manufacturing companies completed standardised questionnaires to collect primary data. The data were then processed using version 26 of IBM SPSS Statistics and SmartPLS4. All hypotheses were tested using the partial least square-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The study revealed that supply chain disruptions significantly and negatively influence the supply chain performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Accra. Again, the introduction of supply chain resilience strategies significantly and positively strengthens the relationship between supply chain disruption and supply chain performance. Finally, supply chain resilience has a beneficial impact on supply chain performance. It was determined that supply chain disruption significantly undermines the supply chain performance of food and beverage manufacturing enterprises in Accra. Therefore, the study recommends that policymakers, practitioners, and management pay close attention to disruptions within the supply chain, as they negatively impact the performance of their supply chains, and also pay close attention to resilience strategies, as they can enhance the performance of chain networks during interruptions.
