Supply Chain Management on Project Management Performance: Special Reference to Construction Industry of Sri Lanka

Abstract

Due to the significance imposed by the concept of supply chain management, the influence of supply chain management has been the focus of many empirical research studies done in order to analyze the overall performance of organizational projects in various contexts such as strategic competence, competitive advantage, sustainable business model, revenue generation and effective utilization of supply chain resources. Within the broad concept of SCM, TQM, supply base management and corporate policies that are end customer driven have been the mostly researched aspects. However, although these past researches have analyzed these concepts, the direct influence imposed by SCM on project success or project performance has not been critically evaluated and researched upon. Therefore, this concept paper aims to evaluate the influence of supply chain management on project management performance in the construction industry of Sri Lanka.
