Summary:In this paper hypotheses are proposed to understand the influence of coordination issues on supply chain performance. Proposed hypotheses have been tested by data collected through a questionnaire survey from Indian manufacturing companies. The findings of this research determine the relationship among important issues of supply chain coordination. It has been observed from present research, that building partnership, trust, and sharing risks and rewards require high level of information sharing. Further findings show that Incentive mechanisms, building partnership and trust, conducting meetings, corporation and technical assistance among members, are attributes of special importance as these are supportive to advance coordination in supply chain.
