Abstract
The materials supply chain in the construction
industry involves many independent actors, creating
complex, dependent relationships, including competitive and cooperative relationships. To develop together,
chain members need to build a long-term cooperative
relationship for mutual benefits, promote the development of chain members and improve the operational
efficiency of the construction supply chain. Therefore,
studies to measure and improve this relationship are
urgently needed. Within the scope of the present article,
the authors carry out work with the aim of assessing
the current status of the relationship between construction contractors and partners in their material supply
chain and ranking the factors affecting the relationship.
From the synthesis of research documents, the report
outlines eight factors affecting the construction supply
chain cooperation, namely: trust, information sharing,
choosing the right partner, profit and risk sharing, senior
management support, problem solving, transaction frequency and culture of cooperation. A survey was carried
out with subjects who are senior leaders of construction
enterprises, project directors/deputy directors, site com
manders/deputy commanders, employees of different
departments. contractors and field engineers. Data from
132 valid questionnaires were used for the study. Based
on the survey results, the authors assessed the current
relationship with the members in the supply chain and
the impact of these factors on the cooperation between
construction enterprises and their supply chain partners. The research results of the present article can help con
struction enterprises identify important influencing
factors and take appropriate measures so as to strengthen
the cooperative relationships with the stakeholders. This
would help improve the operational efficiency of the
supply chain.
