Adoption of Sustainable Supply Chain Management for Performance Improvement in the Construction Industry: A System Dynamics Approach

Sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) involves the managing of information, materials, cash flows, and collaboration among enterprises along chain, integrating sustainable development goals. This research paper aims to determine challenges in SSCM adoption address related complexity using system dynamics (SD) approach utilizing modeling simulation techniques. identified from literature content analysis. Causality these was determined interviews questionnaire surveys that led a causal loop diagram (CLD), which used SD model. Among 19 shortlisted variables, CLD had IV reinforcing II balancing loops. Moreover, build an model with two stocks, new stock named ‘project performance’ added envisage cumulative impact all stocks. The simulated for five years, results predict lack top commitment corporate social responsibility adversely affects project performance. implies there is need improve numerous factors, particular commitment, would lead SSCM, thus leading performance improvement construction industry (CI). validated boundary adequacy, structure, parametric verification tests, showed developed logical approximately replicates industry’s actual system. findings will help CI practitioners adopt sustainability principles terms not only enhance productivity but also minimization delays, promote long-term relations, reduce communication gaps complexities.
