Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of supply chain integration on the performance of a selected food oil organization in the Amhara Region. Causal research was conducted, and data collection was acquired using questionnaire by sampling 135 member of the workforce which was then carefully scrutinized for consistency and continuity after formatting and processing. Multiple linear regression model was employed to foresee organizational performance from the dimensions of SCI, namely interna, external, information, measurement, customer, and supplier integration. The findings revealed that the six measurements of supply chain integration that were mentioned above explained 71.3% of the variance in organizational performance. Amongst all the independent variables, customer integration, information integration and measurement integration were found to be statistically significant with a p-value of less than 0.05, whereas internal, supplier and external integration were found to be statistically insignificant with a p-value greater than 0.05. Overall, the study summarized that out of all the independent variables, external integration, internal integration, and supplier integration were weighed less in relative to information integration, measurement integration and customer integration, indicating that former dimensions of SCI were not optimal in the organization. It is recommended that through system computerization, framework agreement and relationship management, all the six parameters of supply chain integration to be integrated at an optimum level towards attaining a highly effective OP.
