questionnaires as a data collection instrument. Statistical package for social science (SPSS) was
employed to analyze respondent profile, preliminary analysis and to purify measurement items
through exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Further, partial least square structural equation
model (PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.2.8 software) was used to determine the study measurement
model using PLS-Algorithm & bootstrapping technique to test whether supply chain agility,
supply chain adaptability and supply chain alignment have individual and/or joint effects on
supply chain performance and to test their dimensions impact on it. Moreover, it was analyzed
the mediating roles of supply chain performance in between the joint triple-A SC and
organizational performance. With respect to the individual effects, the finding indicates that SC
adaptability, SC alignment and SC agility have a positive and significant effect on supply chain
performance. The result also indicates that the joint (combined) triple-A SC had the strongest
impact on SC performance. In relation to triple-A SC dimensions all have a positive and
significant effect on supply chain performance except SC organizational design. Once again with
respect to the mediating roles, the study result indicates that the joint triple-A SC positively
impacts SC performance and that, in turn, supply chain performance positively impacts
organizational performance as a partial mediation. Accordingly, it was and has been undeniable
facts that triple-A SC and its dimensions have an impact on firms SC performance and
organizational performance. Lastly, the study recommends that Bahir Dar and Kombolcha
