4.1 Introduction.
In this chapter, this describes results of the data analysis. Data collected through the questionnaire survey were fed into SPSS 16.0 (a statistical software tool) in order to generate a comprehensive analysis of the study which is discussed in this chapter. This chapter mainly consists with descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Under inferential statistics, reliability analysis and a logistic regression has been done. Descriptive statistics are used to represent analyzed data in a meaningful and a clear way.
4.2 Reliability Test.
Reliability analysis for this research allowed studying the properties of measurements and scales and the items that compose scales. Reliability analysis calculates number of commonly

Having the CronBach’s Alpha up to the required level, the analysis has been done according to the methodology.
4.3 Descriptive statistics.
In this research descriptive statistics has been used to describe, show and summarize raw data in a meaningful way. Descriptive statistics are very crucial since presenting raw data are hard to visualize. In this study the author has used different type of methods to summarize data such as tabulated description (tables) and statistical commentary (discussion of the results).
The descriptive analysis for this raw data set was done through a crosstab analysis and the table received from the crosstab analysis is shown in Table 4.2.

Apart from the supply chain audits, in the fast moving consumer goods industry, it is revealed that around 34.2% has supply chain integrations within the company where around 5.1% of the fast moving consumer goods industry does not have integrations in their companies.
Furthermore, in the diversified holdings section of employment it is found out that 24.1% do have supply chain audits on their companies where as a percentage of 7.6 out of the sample does not seem to have any supply chain audits engaged in their companies. When it comes to integrations of diversified holdings sector, 25.3% seems to have supply chain integrations within their companies and a percentage of 6.3 do not seem to have any supply chain
Top managers, supervisors and key personnel will be assessed based on case findings. 5. Gathering Internal Data for Review: • Upon completing interviews, relevant data on supply chain management, operations management, finance and economics, HR, and IT activities of the organizations will be reviewed. 6. Strategies and Analysis: • Integrating information, which was collected in all the previous stages, finding out the gaps between current activities and: a) Supply chain management.
The target respondents were invited to complete the questionnaire and directed them to a brief explanation of the research. If a respondent volunteered to participate they were able to read the instructions and complete the questionnaire online from any internet-connected device. Contact details of the researcher were also provided in the initial description of the form should the respondent have any enquiry regarding the questionnaire. Data were collected on 23rd December 2015 from 8 a.m. until 8 a.am 24th December 2015. The length of time for data collection was considered ideal as it allowed a sufficient amount of time for interested respondent to participate in the study.
Continuing to major section II, the researcher developed a theoretical perspective including a literature review. The researcher had to know what the current base of knowledge was to make a contribution to the topic. MSH and DMH websites provided information about their mission; as well as their services. With the subject of funding mental health care being a hot topic right now, the researcher was able to get a considerable amount of information from agency documents and reports; as well as the local media. The researcher also used scholarly peer-reviewed secondary sources from Belhaven’s online library databases.

national study conducted at a south western university. The respondents were selected from those who registered in an online panel by the AS Nielsen. For the possible distribution of the demographics variables, they gathered the gender, age, education and income of the sample reported by the U.S. Census. It was conducted in December 2013 and January 2014. The researchers administered a survey through Qualtrics, an online survey software.

Brand described as a network of facilities and distribution options. The researchers argue the supply chain include different functional areas such as inbound and outbound transportation vegetables, chicken and meat, warehousing, inventory control, suppliers foods, supply management forecasting, production planning, order processing and customer services (Dwivedi, Dwivedi and Tewari, 2014). Supply chain management consists of managing the production network from raw material supplier to final customer. Regardless of any doubt, any industry faces a range of challenges in the supply
I would use typifying example and statistic. According to the website USC Annenberg Media, a former student named Kenneth Wilson had to withdraw after one year at USC because the tuition is too high, and he had no financial aid. He could not apply for loans in his second year because his parents were no longer considered creditworthy. This typifying example illustrates the seriousness of the tuition problem and attracts people's attention. It can make USC peers to start to worry about if they can continue to pay the tuition since most of the students take loans to pay for their tuition.
In this paper the statistical model used is analysis of variance (ANOVA). Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is a commonly statistical method that are often used in order to analyze the result of the model related to real world system. According to Burke (2001), Analysis of variance ( ANOVA) is used to compare and analyze
Proper sample size was used and the trial duration was long enough to capture the characteristics of
Abstract - Supply chain management has played a significant role in global market. The role of logistics in supply chain management is to provide plenty of significant improvements in industrial development. However, Third-party logistics activities such as transportation, warehousing, material handling and other value-added enable companies to get customized logistical support while manufacturers focus on the core organizational activities to achieve excellence. Third party logistics assists to supply right product in right time with right quantity to right consumers. The objective of this study is to statement the role of third party logistics in supply chain management and to understand the relationship between supply chain management and
Due to risk and cost involved in transacting with many business partners, most firms usually choose to vertically integrate to achieve transactions cost economies – that is to mean, they try to virtually minimize the involve of third parties in the supply chain simply by taking up the challenge to do most of the things themselves. At least by doing so, they reduce the risks and all the difficulties associated with enforcing contracts with all these business partners and even avoid the challenges of ensuring that the raw materials, like the components parts and or services meet the quality and required level standards. In integrating vertically, it will also reduce the risks of asymmetric information and opportunistic behavior aimed against the firm. This traditional model of vertical integration, however, assumes two things: either that vertical segments are well defined, or that firms operate in existing markets. The problem with these assumptions is that they rarely exist in the real world today.
Process Drive to achieve functional excellence and integration across all major processes. - Core supply chain processes driving the business. - Best in class approaches to our core processes (manufacturing, integrated demand planning, procurement, cycle-time, compression, dynamic deployment) - Bulk linkages with suppliers and customers. C. Organization Providing the critical success factors of cohesion, harmony and integration across organization entities - Level of cross functional integration is required to manage core processes effectively - Leverage cross-company skills and abilities - Performance measurement and reporting structure help to achieve objectives D. Technology Empowers the Supply Chain to operate on a new level of performance and is creating clear competitive advantages for those companies able to harness it.
