The findings indicate that each of the respondent in distributor companies of automotive parts in Klang, Selangor find that each role is important towards SCM. There is significant correlation between the three roles of ICT and SCM. They feel that when ICT play as a useful aid, competitive advantage and prerequisite in SCM, their company’s SCM will be significantly influenced by the three roles of ICT.
