Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine the impacts of supply chain management and information technology management on competitive advantage by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The sample was chosen from companies in the automotive parts manufacturing industry in Thailand, the questionnaires were distributed to 540 respondents. The statistical treatment of this study is based upon the statistical
techniques such as frequency and percentage, means and standard deviation, and SEM. The results showed that the conceptual model aligns with the empirical data /df = 1.435, GFI = 0.921, AGFI = 0.942, CFI = 0.952 and RMSEA = 0.045. The findings of this research indicated that supply chain management has impact on competitive advantage at significance level 0.01. Furthermore, the result demonstrated that information technology management has effect on supply chain management at significance level 0.01. Additionally, the outcome showed that information technology management has direct and indirect impact on competitive advantage at significance level 0.01
