INTRODUCTION
Indonesia's manufacturing industry has grown steadily in recent years, driven by a burgeoning middle class and expanding consumer market. According to Indonesia's Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the manufacturing sector accounted for 20.7% of the country's GDP in 2020, making it one of the most important sectors in the Indonesian economy. However, the industry faces several challenges, such as increasing global competition, rising input costs, and the need to adapt to changing customer preferences. Global business competition in the manufacturing industry is fierce and continues to increase along with technological developments and trade globalization.
Manufacturing companies must consider various factors to win the competition, including factors related to Supply Chain Integration, Supplier Collaboration, and Quality Management (product quality management) [1]- [3] To remain competitive, manufacturing companies need to adopt best practices in supply chain management and quality management [1], [4], [5] Supply chain integration and supplier collaboration are essential in ensuring that production processes are efficient and effective. In addition, quality management practices can help companies meet customer expectations and maintain a competitive advantage. In today's highly competitive manufacturing industry, a company must consider these factors in order to win the competition and obtain greater profits, the company can improve its performance and strengthen its position in the global business competition.
Global business competition in the manufacturing industry is fierce and continues to increase along with technological developments and trade globalization. Manufacturing companies must consider various factors to win the competition[6]- [8].
Effective supply chain integration can help companies optimize production, reduce costs, and improve company performance. Through proper integration, companies can build strong partnerships with their suppliers, thereby reducing supply risks and increasing production flexibility [6]- [8]. In addition, collaboration with suppliers can also help companies gain access to the latest technology and improve their production processes [9]- [11]. By improving production processes, companies can increase efficiency and reduce production costs, thereby increasing profits and company competitiveness. Collaboration with suppliers can also help companies gain access to valuable resources and strengthen overall supply chain performance [12], [13] Product quality management is also very important in today's global manufacturing industry. Consumers are getting smarter in choosing products, so companies must ensure their products have good quality. By implementing good product quality management, companies can ensure their products meet or even exceed consumer expectations. This will increase consumer trust in the company and strengthen the company's brand image [14]- [16] As a country with fierce business competition, manufacturing companies in Indonesia must continue to improve their performance in all aspects of production and management to remain competitive in an increasingly global market [17] In this context, the implementation of supply chain integration, collaboration with suppliers, and quality management can be key factors in the success and sustainability of manufacturing companies in Indonesia. This study aims to investigate the impact of supply chain integration, supplier collaboration, and quality management on company performance in a manufacturing company in West Java.
The urgency of the problem presented in the background is that the manufacturing industry in Indonesia faces increasingly fierce global competition, so manufacturing companies need to improve their performance to remain competitive in the global market [18], [19] In this regard, supply chain integration, collaboration with suppliers, and quality management can be key factors to achieve this goal. Therefore, this case study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of these practices in improving the performance of manufacturing companies in West Java, which can be a reference for companies in the same sector in Indonesia and around the world. So this research question is : How does supply chain integration, collaboration with suppliers, and quality management affect the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chains of manufacturing companies in West Java?

LITERATURE REVIEW
The topic of supply chain management has gained a lot of attention in the literature, with many researchers exploring various factors that affect supply chain performance [6], [7], [20], [21] The study focuses on three key factors -supply chain integration, supplier collaboration, and quality management -and their impact on the performance of manufacturing companies in Indonesia, with particular emphasis on companies located in West Java.
Supply chain integration is defined as the level of cooperation between supply chain partners of a firm to achieve common goals [22] Several studies have found that supply chain integration is positively associated with improved company performance, including increased efficiency, reduced costs, and higher customer satisfaction. For example, [23] found that supply chain integration has a positive impact on supply chain performance, and this impact is stronger when companies are more vertically integrated.
Supplier collaboration is another key factor in supply chain management. This refers to the extent to which a company cooperates with its suppliers to improve product quality, reduce lead time, and increase responsiveness [10], [11]. Several studies show [13], [24]- [26] that supplier collaboration is positively related to improving company performance. For example, [27], [28] found that supplier collaboration leads to higher levels of innovation, which in turn has a positive impact on company performance. Quality management is also an important factor in supply chain management, and has been shown to be positively related to improving company performance [14], [15], [29], [30]. Quality management refers to the processes and systems used by companies to ensure their products meet customer needs and expectations. Several studies have found that quality management has a positive impact on company performance, including improved product quality, increased customer satisfaction, and reduced costs. For example, [31], [32] found that quality management has a positive impact on company performance, and this impact is especially strong in industries with high levels of competition.

West Science Interdisciplinary Studies
In the specific context of Indonesian manufacturing companies, many studies have been conducted that explore the impact of supply chain management practices on company performance in the environment. For example, [33], [34] found that supply chain management practices have a significant impact on the performance of Indonesian manufacturing companies, especially in the areas of product quality and customer satisfaction. Similarly, [35], [36] found that supply chain integration and collaboration with suppliers have a positive impact on the performance of Indonesian manufacturing companies, especially in terms of operational performance.
In conclusion, this study on the impact of supply chain integration, collaboration with suppliers, and quality management on company performance in Indonesian manufacturing companies is likely to provide valuable insights for academics and practitioners. The literature suggests that these factors are positively associated with improved company performance, and the specific context of Indonesian manufacturing companies is likely to provide additional insights that can inform supply chain management practices in those environments.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A total of 150 manufacturing companies were included in the study, and 132 companies responded to the survey, resulting in a response rate of 88%. Most companies are small to mediumsized businesses, with fewer than 500 employees. Manufacturing companies in West Java produce various types of products, including industrial components and consumer goods. The company has a supply chain that includes several suppliers, both local and international. The company has implemented various supply chain integration practices, such as sharing production schedules with suppliers and using electronic data exchange (EDI) to communicate with suppliers. In addition, the company has also run collaboration programs with suppliers that encourage suppliers to share their expertise and knowledge with the company. The program includes regular meetings between the company and its suppliers to discuss problems and find solutions together. The company believes that these practices have improved the efficiency of its supply chain and reduced lead times. The company also has a comprehensive quality management system covering all aspects of the production process, from the procurement of raw materials to the delivery of finished products. This system includes quality control measures such as product inspections, process audits, and testing.
The company also conducts regular customer satisfaction surveys to ensure that its products meet or exceed customer expectations. Here are the results of the study: The results showed that supply chain integration, supplier collaboration, and quality management are positively related to company performance in Indonesian manufacturing companies. In particular, the findings showed that there was a significant positive relationship between supply chain integration and company performance (0.02), supplier and company performance collaboration(0.01), and company quality management and performance(0.00). In addition, multiple regression analysis and simultaneous tests show that supply chain integration, supplier collaboration, and quality management together account for 64% of the variation in company performance.

DISCUSSION
The results of this study show that supply chain integration and supplier collaboration are critical factors to improve company performance in Indonesian manufacturing companies. These findings are consistent with previous research in other settings, which suggest that supply chain integration and supplier collaboration are key factors of supply chain performance and enterprise performance [6]- [8], [13], [14], [24], [26], [33].
