Abstract 
Supply chain management (SCM) is a concept that has 
flourished in manufacturing, originating from Just-In-Time 
(JIT) production and logistics. Today, SCM represents an 
autonomous managerial concept, although still largely 
dominated by logistics. SCM endeavors to observe the entire 
scope of the supply chain. All issues are viewed and resolved 
in a supply chain perspective; taking into account the 
interdependency in the supply chain.SCM offers a 
methodology to relieve the myopic control in the supply chain 
that has been reinforcing waste and problems. Construction 
supply chains are still full of waste and problems caused by 
myopic control. Comparison of case studies with prior 
research justifies that waste and problems in construction 
supply chains are extensively present and persistent, and due 
to interdependency largely interrelated with causes in other 
stages of the supply chain. The characteristics of the 
construction supply chain reinforce the problems in the 
construction supply chain, and may well hinder the 
application of SCM to construction. Previous initiatives to 
advance the construction supply chain have been somewhat 
partial. The construction industry has been slower than other 
industries to employ the Supply Chain Management (SCM) 
concept and develop models that support the decision-making 
and planning.
