Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of inventory control systems on organisational performance in the mining sector of Zimbabwe. A quantitative survey approach was used and a sample of 203 mining companies was used for data analysis. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was run in Analysis for Moment Structures (AMOS) version 22 to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings of the study were that, inventory control systems have both positive direct and positive indirect effect on organisational performance. The study concluded that, inventory control systems have a positive effect on organisational performance in the mining sector of Zimbabwe. The study recommended mining companies in Zimbabwe to implement modern computerised inventory control systems for effective inventory management in order to enhance organisational performance.
