Abstract

The research aimed to measure and analyze the effect of supply chain flexibility on Operational Performance in  the Alexandria food Industry. To achieve this objective, Supply chain flexibility was measured based on four dimensions; Sourcing Flexibility, Operating System Flexibility, Distribution flexibility, and Information System Flexibility. While Cost, Quality and Delivery were Chosen to represent Operational Performance. To achieve the objectives of the research, the descriptive analytical method was used through a questionnaire that was developed to be used, which was distributed to (407) managers. The research population consisted of the Alexandria food industry firms. The study sample consisted of (80) firms selected as a random sample. A Number of Statistical methods were used, By the Statistical Package for social sciences (SPSS V.25) and (AMOS V.22) programs. And by using structural equation model mode to test the model and hypotheses of the study. And to judge the quality of the overall compatibility of the proposed research model. After testing the hypotheses, a number of results were reached: In testing hypotheses, the research finds a statistically significant positive effect of supply chain flexibility on operational performance. There is also a statistically significant positive effect of supply flexibility on operational performance. And There is also a statistically significant positive effect of operating system flexibility on operational performance. And There is also a statistically significant positive effect of distribution flexibility on operational performance. Finally There is also a statistically significant positive effect of information system flexibility on operational performance.
