Effect of Procurement Planning on Supply Chain Performance: Evidence from the Salvation Army Kenya West Territory
Abstract
Purpose: The study's main focus was the influence of procurement planning on supply chain performance: Evidence from The Salvation Army Kenya West Territory
Design/Methodology: The study used 84 respondents as its target group using an explanatory research approach. A method of census sampling was applied. Utilizing a five-point Likert scale, closed-ended questionnaires were employed.
The study covered the Salvation Army Kenya West Territory, which covers 23 counties in parts of west, north and southern parts of Kenya. The study was anchored on General system theory and institutional theory. Structured questionnaires aided data collection from the respondents. The instrument's validity and reliability were examined. Data analysis employed both descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings: The research findings showed that there’s a significant positive effect between procurement planning and supply chain performance.
Implications/Value: The study aims to assist decision-makers in FBOs to form a foundation for developing and executing policies on procurement planning and will also be part of the existing literature that will be used by researchers and scholars. The study findings will enable Faith Based Organizations to completely understand how procurement planning affects supply chain performance, identify methods to enhance current procedures, and fortify laws that guarantee supply chain process tracking in order to reduce acquisition prices and lead-time
