The study examined the role of logistics in
manufacturing firms’ performance in some states in Northern
Nigeria. A firm-level survey was conducted in a cross-sectional
examination of members of the Manufacturers Association of
Nigeria (MAN), with a sample of 144 firms. The study was
underpinned by the resource-based theory, and data was
analyzed using multiple regression analysis through the
partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLSSEM).
It was discovered that both inbound and outbound
logistics have positive relationships with performance.
However, the relationship between outbound logistics and
performance was not significant. The findings implies that
managers of manufacturing firms cannot entirely rely on the
contributions of logistics to enhance performance. It was
therefore recommended that management in the
manufacturing sector could find ways of improving those
outbound activities they perform; contemplate involving
drivers, such as information technology to boost performance;
and consider outsourcing those outbound activities.
