Abstract: Supply chain management (SCM) practices havebecome strategic resources and capabilities for enhancing both competitiveadvantage logistic performance (ORGPER). However, it is not clear how SCMPractices influence logistic performance in the agribusiness context. However, themechanism of SCMPs effects is not yet understood since extant literature hasproduced mixed results. Hence, this study sought to test the impact ofmediation of the competitive advantage of relations between SCMP and ORGPERfrom the point of view of Kenya's dairy supply chain. The study examined fourestimates that were tested using partial minimum square structural equationmodeling (PLS-SAME) techniques to work out the purpose of the study. Acrossdepartmental survey design has been used to collect preliminary data from109 dairy cooperatives in thirteen major dairy producing counties in Kenya. Theresults reveal that SCM practice has a positive and significant effect on CA(P=0.730) and ORGPER (P=0.237). In addition, THERE is a positive, statisticallysignificant effect on THECAORGPER (P=0.522). Further results show that CAmediates the relationship between SCMP and ORGPER. Consequently, the studyconcludes that SCMPs first generate CA, which in turn enhances ORGPER in a logistic sense.Theoretically, the study provides insights on the resource-based view theory aswell as a conceptual framework for its validation. Similarly, the study informsmanagers and policymakers in knowing specific SCMPs to focus on to enhance CAand ORGPER of the dairy cooperatives in Kenya.
