Abstract

This study explores the impact of supply chain management (SCM) practices on the performance of Wood Processing Company Limited (WPCL) in Ghana, with a focus on its manufacturing operations. The research investigates how SCM practices are implemented at WPCL, assesses their effects on the company’s performance, and analyzes sales trends over time. A sample of 200 clients from WPCL in the Greater Accra Region was surveyed using questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews were conducted with key WPCL personnel. Data analysis, facilitated by SPSS, examined the relationship between SCM practices and WPCL’s performance. The findings reveal that WPCL effectively integrates SCM practices into its operations, which has significantly enhanced its business performance, as evidenced by improved sales trends from 2018 to 2024.
