The construction industry, despite its historical roots, faces persistent challenges in embracing modern practices such as supply chain management (SCM) and operations management (OM). This study examines the pivotal roles of SCM and OM in the construction sector, exploring their significance, challenges, and opportunities for integration. By conducting a comprehensive literature review, this research identifies gaps in existing SCM systems and proposes strategies for improvement. The methodology employed in this study involves rigorous secondary research, utilizing a diverse range of scholarly publications, conference proceedings, industry reports, books, and reliable internet resources. Through this approach, the study delves into construction operations and SCM data to uncover insights into enhancing project efficiency and performance. The integration of SCM and OM emerges as a key strategy for streamlining processes, reducing costs, and mitigating risks in construction projects. By aligning supply chain activities with operational needs and leveraging digital technologies, construction firms can optimize resource utilization and improve project outcomes. However, challenges such as organizational inertia and information silos must be addressed to facilitate successful integration. Despite these challenges, collaboration, innovation, and strategic planning are identified as critical drivers of success in the construction sector. Through effective integration of SCM and OM practices, construction firms can enhance efficiency, reduce project delays, and foster growth in the built environment. Ultimately, this study contributes to the advancement of the construction industry by providing actionable recommendations for optimizing SCM and OM practices. By addressing existing gaps and leveraging integrated approaches, construction firms can navigate the complexities of the modern construction landscape and achieve sustainable success in project delivery.
