This paper aims to study about the effects of the supply chain management of the highway construction projects. Supply chain management identifies the issues that slow down the process of road construction. During recent years, supply chain has become a major subject of management research. The paper presents the main results of the survey and highlights the effects of supply chain management in highway construction that exists in the construction supply chain. Construction projects are unique in nature and are characterized by one time activity. Such projects are conducted by numerous agents and specialists. Most of the agents involved in these projects lack overall project insight; therefore each agent assumes primary responsibility for their own work. The agents hired by clients for construction projects are contractors, sub- contractors, suppliers, project management consultant / third party consultant. The construction industry has recognized the importance of supply chain management (SCM) in improving the performance of projects, but the research in this area is still immature.

Supply chain management, highway construction, Relative Importance Index Method, Weighted Average Index Method and Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient.
