Abstract

The rapid trends toward outsourcing have created more complex and fragmented multi-tier supply chains for Engineering, Procurement & Construction(EPC) industry. Working with suppliers and sub-suppliers requires continuous integration activities during project execution. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors influencing the performances and relationship satisfaction of second-tier suppliers participating in the project-based supply chain. This study proposes the network embeddedness, collaboration, information-sharing and flexibility as antecedents variables, and collected the survey responses from the second-tier suppliers having experiences with complex projects. The statistical results indicate that the collaboration with supply chain leading firm and first-tier supplier has significant impact on the performances and relationship satisfaction of second-tier suppliers. It was also found that the information-sharing and flexibility influence the network embeddedness as well as collaboration, and that the embeddedness have significant impact on the collaboration.

EPC 산업군에 속하는 기업들의 주요 업무에 대한 아웃소싱비율이 급격히 높아짐에 따라 프로젝트 공급망의 성격과 협력업체와의 협업구조도 더욱 복잡해져 가고 있다. 1, 2차 또는 그 이하 협력업체의 복잡한 공급망에의 참여는 지속적인 통합노력을 필요로 한다. 본 연구는 2차 협력업체를 중심으로 기업 성과와 거래기업에 대한 관계만족도에 영향을 미치는 선행요인 분석에 초점을 둔다. 네트워크 배태성, 협업, 정보공유 및 신축성 등을 선행요인으로 설정하고, 프로젝트 공급망에의 참여실적이 있는 2차 협력업체들로부터 설문조사를 실시하여 통계적 가설을 검증하였다. 분석결과, 2차 협력업체의 공급망 주도기업과 1차 협력업체와의 협업은 성과와 만족도에 유의한 영향을 미치며, 정보공유와 신축성은 네트워크 배태성과 협업에 긍정적 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 협업에 의한 역량제고는 네트워크 배태성에 의해서도 상당한 영향을 받는다는 결과도 도출하였다.
