Abstract: This time, supply chain management (SCM) has emerged as an essential field, serving organisations to build strategies to achieve long-term competitiveness. The general purpose of this study is to explore the effect of supply chain practices on a firm's performance. To realise the objective, data was gathered through structured questionnaires and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). The findings show a significant direct and indirect effect of supply chain practices, specifically information sharing and inventory management, on a firm's performance. Theoretically, the result provides more evidence of the effects of information sharing and inventory management in supply chain practices on a firm's performance. For practitioners in the supply chain, the findings of this study can be useful to improve information sharing and inventory management to increase a firm's performance.

Keywords: supply chain practices; SCPs; supply chain performances; SCM; supply chain management; information sharing; inventory management.
