However, the results showed that, there is a significant relationship between supply chain flexibility and organizational performance. Consequently, it was clear that, they had a low level of operational and financial performance. Based on these findings, the study recommended that, due to the low integration of the supply of the motorcycle industry, it is important to implement strategies to improve supply chain integration effectiveness. For instance, purchasers must constantly deal with approved and accepted suppliers for the motorcycle parts. Also, the operators of motorcycles must establish a trust of safety among customers by following established regulations for their operations. | |
