The aim of this research is to empirically examine the effect of supply chain integration on operational performance. In order to address the research objective, a quantitative survey approach is used to collect the relevant data from the target population of the study which includes Chemical and Chemical product manufacturing firms in Ethiopia. A questionnaire was administered to target respondents to collect a primary data for the study. To analyze the data this study applied a descriptive and non parametric statistics including Kendall’s correlation and Kruskal Wallis test to see the significant relationship between hypothesized variables as well as to measure the direction and strength of the relationship. The result from study shows a significant positive effect of supply chain integration construct on the operational performance of firms. However, this research investigation did not found statistically significant evidence on the effect of internal integration ...

Increasingly the production of chemical products has been made necessary and consequently there is a rise in the exposition to these materials and to its correlate effects, like operational risks, to the health and to the environment. In this way the segregation and storage programs of chemical products is extremely important. In face of this fact the Protein Chemistry Facility has established a safe handling and storage system for chemical products with the purchase/improvement of individual and collective protection equipment, making abridged safety records, structuring a proper area for keeping chemical products regarding compatibility and capacitation of related personnel. All these actions aim at the safety and well-being of all people on the area, plus minimization of environmental risks.
