Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of strategic partnership, information technology and lean production techniques on the operational performance of Turkish automotive part suppliers by conducting a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) path analysis. Survey data was gathered from 207 automotive part suppliers in Turkey. It was observed that internal lean production techniques implementation level and information technology tools had a positive effect on a supplier's operational performance, whereas no significant statistical relationship was found between strategic partnership and operational performance, except for the condition where the moderating effect of internal lean production techniques was involved. Consequently, this research verifies the importance and benefits of implementing lean production techniques for supplier firms.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı stratejik ortaklık, bilgi teknolojileri ve yalın üretim tekniklerinin tedarikçilerin performansı üzerindeki etkilerini yapısal eşitlik modeli (YEM) analizi ile araştırmaktır. Araştırma verileri Türkiye'deki 207 otomotiv tedarikçisi firmadan temin edilmiştir. Yalın üretim tekniklerinin uygulanmasının ve bilgi teknolojisi araçlarından faydalanılmasının tedarikçinin operasyonel performansına olumlu etkisi olduğu, stratejik ortaklık ile operasyonel performans arasındaki ilişkide ise yalın üretim uygulamaların biçimleyici etkisi dışında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadığı ortaya konmuştur. Sonuç olarak, bu araştırma yalın üretim tekniklerinin uygulanmasının tedarikçi firmalara sağladığı faydaları ve söz konusu tekniklerin önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
