Integrated Thinking of the Construction Supply Chain and Project Management

The construction industry contributes to social development and the economy. However, the industry encounters numerous challenges that pertain to construction supply chain management (CSCM) and construction project management (CPM). Multi-stakeholder structure-based construction projects can challenge construction project management processes making them difficult to handle. Significant effort has been made to enhance the performance of CSCM and CPM. Despite these efforts, the construction industry still experiences challenges and problems. This chapter examines project delivery and project performance relationships within the construction supply chain. The chapter evaluates the construction supply chain from a project management perspective. The chapter emphasizes the need for integrated thinking to achieve value-oriented goals. Fundamental principles of the CSCM are assessed on various project performance domains.
