The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of Quality management practices in the relation between Supply chain management practices and Organizational performance: The case of Ethiopian metal industry. The cross-sectional survey research design was chosen in order to collect the primary data, by using adapted questionnaire. Convenience sampling was adopted to draw a sample size of 157 valid respondents. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. The results reveal that supply chain management practices and quality management practices dimensions are positively related to organizational performances. The relationship between supply chain management practices and quality management practices were also found to be positive. The mediating role of quality management practices between supply chain management practices and organizational performance were also found to be significant. On the basis of the findings of this study, I conclude that there is positive relationship between supply chain management practices, quality management practices and organizational performances. Thus, improvement of supply chain management practices (strategic supplier partnership, customer relationship, level of information sharing, quality of information sharing and level of using information technology) and quality management practices(top management leadership, supplier quality management, product and service design, process management and employee training) were critical factors to sustainable differentiation and competitiveness in the Ethiopian metal industry. Therefore, I recommend that the supply chain management practices and Quality management practices have strong relation & effect on the organizational performance, the Ethiopian metal industry needs to improve the supply chain management practices and Quality management practices by providing relevant training for their employees, by using information technology system properly and developing clear strategy on the supply chain practices in their respective firms to boost their productivity to be competent enough in the market.
