Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) and Kaizen Blitz (KB) on Sustainable Performance (SP) in the Malaysian Private Hospitals. The data were collected from 230 staff in Malaysian Private Hospitals through survey method using questionnaire. The sample of study was selected using random sampling. Structural Equation Model (SEM) technique was used to test the statistical analysis of the data required in the study. Besides, exploratory factor analysis was conducted. The findings showed that there were positive and significant effect of SSCM on KB (β=0.583, p
