dc.description.abstract | The study sought to determine the influence of best-value procurement strategies on the
supply chain performance of large-scale manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study used
descriptive survey method research design to collect and analyze the data; the data was
collected using questionnaires. The study population was 499 large-scale manufacturing
firms in Kenya of which a sample of 125 firms was selected using Stratified random
sampling method. Analysis and coding of data was done through SPSS. Descriptive
statistics and regression analysis was used in the analysis and the data was summarized by
use of tables and regression model. The study established that to a great extent most of the
large-scale manufacturing firms in Kenya use Strategic e-procurement, Strategic supplier
relationship management, Best-value spend and category management strategy, Weighted
average supplier scoring strategy and Collaborative best-value sourcing strategy in an
effort to improve their procurement processes. The study also established that best-value
procurement strategies have great influence on the supply chain performance of large-scale
manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study indicates that seventy seven point nine percent
(77.9%) of the variation in supply chain performance were explainable by the five bestvalue
procurement strategies. Therefore the study recommends that large-manufacturing
firms in Kenya to adopt the Strategic e-procurement, Strategic supplier relationship
management, Best-value spend management and category management strategy, weighted
average supplier scoring strategy and Collaborative best-value sourcing strategy to
improve their supply chain performance. The study further recommends that future
research to consider additional variables like risk management strategies as a moderator on
the relationship between best-value procurement strategies and supply chain performance
to enhance the conclusions of this study’s findings. | en_US |
