University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban.The study investigates supply chain integration (SCI) strategy and its impact on supply chain resilience within Namibia's state-owned logistics enterprises, explicitly focusing on the Port of Walvis Bay in the Erongo region. Despite the recognised synergistic effect of SCI on enhancing resilience, its application in Namibia's state-owned logistics enterprises, especially in Port Walvis Bay, requires specific investigation. Motivated by the need to determine SCI's implementation extent and its impact on resilience in these enterprises, the study aims to (a) to establish the impact of internal integration, (b) to determine the effect of supplier integration, (c) to establish customer integration's impact, (d) to determine the impact of information integration, and (e) to examine the relationship between supply chain integration and resilience. The study employed a quantitative questionnaire survey in six logistics industries in Walvis Bay. Data analysis employed structural equation modelling with the partial least squares method. The findings indicate that supply chain integration significantly contributes to resilience and substantially affects state-owned logistics enterprises in the Port of Walvis Bay, Erongo region. However, this relationship is not linear but contingent on the level of supply chain resilience. The study highlights the critical role of supply chain resilience as a mediator between integration and state-owned logistics enterprises, contributing to a better understanding of industry dynamics. This insight is valuable for practitioners and policymakers aiming to enhance the performance and resilience of regional state-owned logistics enterprises. Iqoqa. Lolu cwaningo luphenya ngesu lokuhlanganiswa kwamasu okuhlinzeka ngempahla, isupply chain integration (SCI) negalelo layo ekuzinzeni kokuhlinzekwa kwempahla emabhizinisini kahulumeni okuthuthwa kwempahla eNamibia, lugxile ngqo ePort of Walvis Bay esifundeni sase-Erongo. Naphezu kwegalelo lokubambisana elaziwayo le-SCI ekuthuthukiseni ukuzinza, ukusebenza kwayo emabhizinisini athutha impahla kahulumeni waseNamibia, ikakhulukazi e-Port Walvis Bay, kudinga uphenyo oluqondile. Lushukunyiswa yisidingo sokunquma izinga lokusebenza kwe-SCI kanye negalelo layo ekuzinzeni kwala mabhizinisi, lolu cwaningo luhlose (a) ukuthola igalelo lokuhlanganiswa kwangaphakathi, (b) ukunquma igalelo lokuhlanganiswa kwabahlinzeki, (c) ukuthola igalelo lokuhlanganiswa kwamakhasimende, (d) ukunquma igalelo lokuhlanganiswa kolwazi, kanye (e) nokuhlola ubudlelwane obuphakathi kokuhlanganiswa kwabahlinzeki nokuzinza. Lolu cwaningo lusebenzise imibuzo yenhlolovo eyikhwantithethivun ezimbonini eziyisithupha zezokuthutha eWalvis Bay. Ukuhlaziywa kwemininingo kwenziwe kulandelwa izinqubo zocwaningo ezihlanganisa ukubuka nokwenza ngokoqobo ngenhloso yokuhlola kanye nendlela yokunciphisa izakhi zokuqagela. Okutholakele kuveza ukuthi ukuhlanganiswa kwabahlinzeka ngempahla kunomthelela omkhulu ekuzinzeni futhi kuzichaphazela kakhulu izinkampani zokuthuthwa kwempahla zikahulumeni ePort of Walvis Bay, esifundeni sase-Erongo. Nokho, lobu budlelwano abuvumelani kodwa buxhomeke ezingeni lenqubo yokuhwebelana. Lolu cwaningo luqokomisa indima ebalulekile yokuzinza kwezokuhlinzeka ngezimpahla ezixhumanisa amabhizinisi kahulumeni, okunomthelela ekuqondeni kangcono ukuguquguquka kwale mboni. Lokhu kuqonda kuwusizo kulabo abasebenza kulo mkhakha nakubasunguli bezinqubomgomo abahlose ukuthuthukisa ukusebenza nokuzinza kwamabhizinisi ezokuthuthwa kwempahla angaphansi kukahulumeni esifundeni.enInformation integration.Internal integration.Port disruptions.Port supply chain.Thesishttps://doi.org/10.29086/10413/23032
