statistical package to model structural equations in small squares way. (AMOS.V.25) For an analysis provided by
Study Department, a range of statistical methods were used, consisting of syntactic general analysis, Cronbach Alpha
coefficient and identification coefficient (R2), normal distribution of data, descriptive statistics of computational
medium and standard deviation, correlation factor, and results of study showed a clear and important perception of
relationship between Lean supply chain management and logistical superiority, Perhaps main findings of study are
reflected in a statistically significant correlation and impact between Lean supply chain management and logistical
