The two main factors on which supply chain responsiveness is often associated with are logistics and procurement. In order to find out the relation between the said dependent and independent variables approaches like descriptive frequencies, reliability, correlation, regression is used in the study. For the collection of data, the textile industry is targeted. Textile is the largest industry in Pakistan. With the emerging business in this industry, it is only fitting to get the data from there. Supply chain plays a vital role in the textile industry and the people associated with this department can give the best overview of which factor is important and which is not so much when gauging the responsiveness. To collect their thought and oversight directly, the data for the study is collected through a questionnaire. The questions targeted the ambiguities and major concerns that are helpful in drawing the conclusion. SPSS software is used to process the data collected. The final outcome of the study concludes that procurement and logistics positively impact supply chain responsiveness in the textile sector of Pakistan.
