ANALYSIS OF FACTORS AFFECTING SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

Abstract

The construction industry faces unique challenges that significantly impact supply chain management (SCM). This research examines the factors affecting supply chain management (SCM) in the construction industry through a structured approach involving data collection, validation, and analysis using the Relative Importance Index (RII) method and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). A questionnaire survey was distributed to professionals in the construction sector, including project managers, contractors, and suppliers, to gather relevant data. After validating the responses for accuracy, the RII method was applied to rank the significance of each factor influencing SCM. Subsequently, one-way ANOVA was used to assess statistical differences in responses across various stakeholder groups. The findings highlight the most significant factors affecting SCM in the construction industry and reveal notable differences in perceptions based on the roles of respondents. The study provides insights for improving supply chain efficiency and performance, offering practical recommendations for addressing the challenges faced by stakeholders in the construction sector
