        abstract = {The construction industry is one of the most dynamic yet fragmented sectors, often facing challenges in coordination, resource management, and timely project delivery. Effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) plays a crucial role in addressing these inefficiencies by integrating various stakeholders, processes, and technologies. This study aims to understand the concept, significance, and current status of SCM practices within the construction industry. A comprehensive questionnaire-based survey was conducted among industry professionals to identify the major challenges and barriers affecting SCM implementation. The study further analyzes existing supply chain practices, focusing on the level of technological adoption and collaboration among contractors, suppliers, and clients. Microsoft Project (MSP) is utilized to demonstrate its application in planning, scheduling, and managing supply chain operations, emphasizing its potential to enhance coordination, streamline resource allocation, and improve overall project performance. The findings highlight that digital tools like MSP can significantly strengthen construction supply chains by promoting transparency and real-time monitoring. Finally, the research proposes strategic recommendations for the effective adoption of digital supply chain management systems, contributing to improved productivity, reduced project delays, and better decision-making across the construction sector.},
