The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of supply chain capabilities and knowledge management capabilities on business performance, with the mediating role of competitive advantage. In terms of purpose, this is an applied research; regarding its methodology, it is a descriptive-survey and causal study, and concerning data analysis, it is correlational. The statistical population consists of 600 managers and employees from the financial, marketing, R&D, distribution, and IT departments, as well as suppliers in the procurement sections of top-tier chain stores in Mashhad, Iran (including Shahr-e-Ma, Refah, Ofogh Kourosh, Hyperme, Ba-Ma, and Etka). Based on the Morgan table, the sample size was estimated at 234; ultimately, 215 questionnaires were completed and returned. The sampling method is non-probability convenience sampling. The data collection instrument is a questionnaire, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SPSS and AMOS software was employed for data analysis. The research findings indicate that supply chain capabilities significantly influence competitive advantage and business performance, and knowledge management capabilities also have a significant effect on competitive advantage and business performance.
