Abstract: Integrated coordination plays a pivotal role in incorporating interrelated work units and various participants to enhance supply chain performance. This study focused on process, information and knowledge as integrated coordination mechanisms for managing interrelated processes between work units from the supply chain's end-to-end stages. The study's anchored theories were reviewed and research hypotheses were developed to conceptualise how process integration, information integration and knowledge integration in the cycle view and performance cycle of the supply chain is driven by integrated coordination for effective and efficient supply chain performance. Data were collected from Nigerian manufacturing firms and hypotheses were tested with the aid of multiple regression analysis. Findings from the study show that manufacturing firms in Nigeria are not practicing the end-to-end stages of supply chain integrated coordination.
