Abstract

The research aims to analyze the impact of supply chain flexibility on supply chain responsiveness in food manufacturing companies in Alexandria. To achieve this goal; Supply chain flexibility was measured through four dimensions: (supply flexibility, operating system flexibility, distribution flexibility, and information system flexibility). In addition to three dimensions that constitute the supply chain response (operating system response, supply process response, supply network response). To achieve the objectives of the study and test its hypotheses, the descriptive analytical method was used. A questionnaire was developed as a data collection tool and distributed to (407) managers in companies. The study population consisted of food manufacturing companies in Alexandria. The study sample consisted of (80) companies Selected as a random sample from the study population. Several statistical methods were used based on the statistical package (SPSS V.25) and the program (AMOS V.22). Through the use of the structural equation modeling method, the model and hypotheses of the study were tested. The research reached several results: There is a statistically significant positive effect of supply chain flexibility on supply chain response. There is a statistically significant positive effect of supply flexibility on supply chain response, there is a statistically significant positive effect of operating system flexibility on supply chain response, there is a statistically significant positive effect of distribution flexibility on supply chain response, and finally, there is a statistically significant positive effect of Information system flexibility on supply chain responsiveness.
