Role of supply chain management in construction industry

  • Abstract:
  • The construction industry faces difficulties with sustainability, risk, cost, and efficiency. This study investigates how improved planning, procurement, logistics, and stakeholder collaboration are some of the ways Supply Chain Management (SCM) tackles these problems. A 5-point Likert scale was used to evaluate SCM across six areas in a survey of 50 academics and construction professionals. Results show that real-time logistics, vendor selection, and early procurement planning improve project outcomes. Although fluctuations in material prices continue to be a worry, risk management techniques proved beneficial. Efficiency gains and environmental impact reduction are increasingly being facilitated by sustainability practises and innovations like as BIM and IoT. Additionally, SCM tools enhance risk mitigation and communication. SCM greatly improves construction project performance overall, but addressing environmental and economic issues need for concentrated work.
