| Summary: | Supplier, as part of supply chain plays a vital role to ensure the availability of
resources that are required by the manufacturing company in securing their
business. Supplier development activity can be seen as an effort that manufacturing
company do in order to improve their supplier performance, especially in ensuring
their supply chain’s continuity.
Based on the previous researches about buyer-supplier, there are 3 gaps found in
the research of supplier development. First, there is no research that
comprehensively examined the impact of supplier development towards the
improvement of supplier performance and purchasing performance, with or without
the mediating role of buyer-supplier relationship, from both buyer and also supplier
perspectives, as one entity. Second, there is no specific study about the impact of
supplier performance improvement towards purchasing performance improvement.
Third, there is no specific research about the impact of supplier development and
buyer – supplier relationship using the actual indicators (quantitative data), that
has been implemented by the manufacturing company towards their suppliers.
The research in this master’s Thesis was conducted to enhance the model of
supplier development, with or without the mediating role of buyer–supplier
relationship, and its effect towards supplier performance & purchasing
performance improvement. The purpose of this Thesis is expected to give the
explanation about the role of buyer – supplier relationship and its indicators that
could give significant impact towards the improvement of supplier performance and
purchasing performance in PT. X.
The research was conducted for the automotive industry, PT. X, as buyer and the
companies that supply the automotive component, as supplier of PT. X. The analysis
of the model research will use Partial Least Squares – Structural Equation
Modeling (PLS-SEM), with 52 respondents from the automotive component
company (tier 1 supplier of PT. X) and 31 respondents from PT. X (buyer). This
research also use interview that involves Top Management of supplier and PT. X
to sharpen the result analysis of model development. The result of this research shown that supplier development activity gives
significant impact towards supplier performance. Also can be concluded that
supplier performance also has significant impact towards purchasing performance.
However, the mediating role of buyer – supplier relationship still cannot be proven
its impact towards supplier performance & purchasing performance. Moreover
from the interview result, this role cannot be generalized in all suppliers. The
mediating role also tested using Multi-Group Analysis method, and it has proven
that supplier’s self-reliance condition could give significant impact of buyersupplier
relationship towards its role as mediator in improving supplier
performance. |
