Abstract

Construction industry faces a lot of inherent uncertainties and issues. Construction companies know that it is important to improve the decision-making process in supply chain process. However, they do not know how to improve the decision making in supply chain process in relation to the needs of the organization. One reason is that a lot of companies do not have knowledge of factors and performance measure, which can support decisions in this area. To improve the decision making in supply chain process, first, it is important to know the factors (Parameters) affecting the decision making in construction supply chain process. Application of supply chain management philosophy to the construction industry has been widely investigated in recent years as effective and efficient
management measure and strategy to improve the performance of construction. Supply chain management (SCM) can be considered as the coordination of distributed decision making of organization on material flow and information flow. Supplier selection is one of the important factors in Supply Chain Management. This research contains a review of various decisions making in construction supply chain management, generally used methods and factors for supplier selection by other industries. This paper has been planned to deal with identification of factors affecting SCM, then carrying out the quantitative analysis using a questionnaire survey among engineers, contractors and suppliers by using the Relative Importance Index (RII) Method. All factors affecting SCM have been ranked using RII Method using the response acquired from stakeholders. Ranking has been carried out for each stakeholder group and also as an overall response from stakeholders.
