Supply Chain Management (SCM) offers the possibility of increased customer service while minimizing costs. Before choosing what type of supply chain strategy to pursue, a firm must first evaluate the type of supply chain(s) in which it participates. The type of functional strategies chosen should complement the type of supply chain(s) in which the firm is a member. Certain manufacturing and logistics strategies are more appropriate given the characteristics of the supply chain. This thesis explores the relationships among supply chain characteristics, logistics and manufacturing strategies, and firm performance. In addition, this study proposes an alternative logistics strategy framework using the competitive priorities of cost, quality, delivery and flexibility. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. Results indicate limited support for the notion that successful firms participating in agile supply chains choose to emphasize different logistics and manufacturing strategies than less successful firms in agile supply chains. The same holds true for firms participating in lean supply chains. Results from the logistics strategy factor analysis demonstrated that the proposed framework is not only a feasible one, but one that is effective at describing the logistics strategy.
