Abstract: Products produced by manufacturing companies are always required to meet the requirements set by customers. Manufacturing companies need to maintain product quality by involving internal company components and external partners by using integrated information technology to become supply chain quality integration. All components in the supply chain flow must be committed to maintaining product quality in their respective roles. The research aims to ensure that technology information integration can impact firm performance through supply chain quality integration and resilience. Data collection on manufacturing companies in Java using purposive sampling found 162 companies that had received ISO certification. Respondents were determined to be employees at the middle management level and had worked for a minimum of 3 years. Data processing used partial least squares version 4 to answer all research hypotheses. The data processing results showed that information technology integration influenced supply chain quality integration by 0.588 and supply chain resilience by 0.523 and had no significant effect on increasing firm performance. Supply chain quality integration influences supply chain resilience by 0.288 and increases firm performance by 0.496. Lastly, Supply chain resilience has a positive and significant effect on increasing firm performance by 0.169. The research results provide a practical contribution to the company's top management in maintaining the role and function of technology information integration and the ISO system in maintaining supply chain quality integration. Theoretical contribution to enrich the theory of total quality management and supply chain management.
