Abstract

This study examines the impact of resource commitment and product route efficiency on supply chain performance of the firm through operations management. The firm’s profitability is impacted by the commitment made by its management on resources and also by product route efficiency of transporting goods to its customers. Sixteen hundred survey instruments were mailed to the scrap steel industry with 277 of the 307 returned being useable. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to test each related hypothesis.
