Their unstable middleman status has more and more challenges for a long time. In order to help the foreign trade enterprises to get rid of the awkward middlemen status and transform the weak comparative advantages into the core competitivenesses, this article which adopts questionnaire survey to collect relevant data and adopts the qualitative analysis combining with quantitative analysis takes some foreign trade enterprises in our country as research objects to explore the influence factors of the foreign trade enterprises’supply chain efficiency with consideration of the foreign trade enterprises’particularity and research that how the influencing factors of different dimensions impact the efficiency of the supply chain. This article enriches the related theories about the efficiency of supply chain management and provides some guiding suggestions for foreign trade enterprises to improve supply chain management.
