Abstract

This research examines the relationship and importance of competitiveness in manufacturing SMEs regarding Supply Chain Management and the use of Information Technology and Communication in Production Processes. We analyze the influence managers of manufacturing SMEs for communication. We find information technologies significantly improve communication and information flow between suppliers, actors and integrated supply customers. The supply of resources improve the efficiency of the production processes. Results were obtained from employers through a personalized survey conducted between March and April 2012. The objective is to determine how manufacturing SMEs in Aguascalientes, improve their competitiveness by having a close link between production processes, Supply Chain Management and appropriate use of Information Technology and Communication. We examine a sample of 120 companies which have from 11 to 250 employees each.
