Abstract
This study examines the impact of supply chain integration—internal, external, and strategic—on the operational performance of industrial facilities in Al-Khumrah, Saudi Arabia. Using a descriptive-analytical approach and data from 195 respondents via electronic surveys, the results show a strong positive correlation (r = 0.655) between supply chain integration and performance. Internal integration had the most significant effect, highlighting the importance of coordination across departments. The study recommends fostering long-term partnerships, enhancing internal collaboration, and conducting further research with market orientation as a mediating variable.
