THE EFFECT OF THE AGILE SUPPLY CHAIN ON THE ACHIVEMENT OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE AN ANALYTICAL STUDY AT NOOR ALKAFEEL COMPANY FOR PUPLIC INVESTMENTS

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to identify the impact of the agile supply chain on the
competitive advantage; the study adopted the agile supply chain with its dimensions (sharing
information, information technology capabilities and organizational cooperation). The study
was conducted at Noor Alkafeel Company for Public Investments and the questionnaire was
accepted for the purpose of obtaining the required data, as the opinions of (30) individuals
from the company were analyzed. The simple correlation coefficient was used to calculate the
differences between the variables and the T-test to determine the importance of the simple
regression equation. The study drew a variety of findings, the most important of which is that
the organization faces a problem of trust when dealing with its partners in the supply chain.
The organization does not have information technology expertise based on the industry
requirements under which it works. The company must also be mindful that the design and
implementation of its IT technologies and methods must be compatible with those of its
supply chain partners.
