Abstract: The concept of supply chain management has been applied to improve supply chain performance, and as a result, acquire a competitive advantage in a variety of industries throughout the last few decades. Supply chain management practice is the set of activities initiated in an organisation to effectively manage its supply chain, whereas supply chain performance shows supply chain management's overall efficiency and effectiveness. This paper conceptualises five constructs of supply chain management practice (strategic supplier partnership, business model information sharing, level of information sharing, quality of information sharing and customer relationship), and secondly validates the relationship among supply chain management practice, supply chain performance measurement, and competitive advantage using second-order structural equation modelling. Data for the study were collected from 143 small and medium-sized enterprises. Results indicate that the higher level of supply chain management practice leads to a higher supply chain performance level and ultimately gains a competitive advantage.
