Those manufacturing as well as service firms perform logistical operations in one or other way to meet the needs of their customers. Overall logistics management was crucial for the day to day activities of any firms. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of logistics management practice on operational performance of Bahir Dar textile Share Company. Specifically, the study sought to address the effect of procurement practice, inventory management practice, transportation management practice, information flow, and warehousing on operational performance of the company. The study used a positivism paradigm with a deductive research approach and explanatory research design was used to investigate the significance level and the direction of the effect of those logistics management practices on operational performance. In this study, both probability (proportional stratified sampling) and non-probability (purposive sampling) was used to select the sample size. Primary source of data were used. This Primary data were gathered from survey questionnaire, 205 questionnaires were distributed and 195 were returned and analyzed with the use of both descriptive and inferential statics on STATA/SE 14. And the reliability of the instrument was tested by using Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient and further data analysis would be performed with the help of SPSS Software version 26. From the spearman’s correlation test of association, it was founded that procurement practice and transportation management practice have statistically substantial/ strong and positive association with operational performance, information flow have statistically moderate and positive association, and also the remaining inventory management practice and warehousing have statistically weak association with the outcome variable. To analyze the result, ordinal logistic regression model would apply. In accordance, the finding of this study revealed that except warehousing which was insignificant or does not have an effect based on the finding of the regression model, all independent variables (procurement practice, inventory management practice, transportation management practice, and information flows) have strong positive effect on operational performance of Bahir Dar textile Share Company.	en_US
