The research framework was scrutinized by empirical analysis of first hand/primary data collected from the respective small scale firms managers. The variables taken into preview were "Planning&decision", "Transportation execution", "Measurement" and "Transportation follow-up". The results of the ranking table revealed that the variable "Planning&decision making" attained rank, "Transportation execution" attained rank second. Third rank is obtained by the variable "Measurement" and rank fourth was gained by the variable "Transportation follow-up".
