hypotheses can be generated based on the model of the proposed research and literature review. It has been shown that the CI
which acts as an intermediary for the Malaysian automotive industry can continue to perform to make the transformation
SCM practice management system in the Malaysian automotive industry more efficiently and effectively in line with the
