THE EFFECTS OF SOME RISK FACTORS ON SUPPLY CHAIN PERFORMANCE

Abstract

Purpose The study was conducted to examine the impact of supply chain risks that were supply side risk (upstream), demand side risk (downstream), and manufacturing riskJ in process risk on supply chain performance. The construction industry is a relevant segment of world-wide economy and at the same time a complex and often underperforming sector. It is characterized with high fragmentation, low productivity, cost and time overruns, and conflicts. Very often project schedule slips, budget overruns, quality is compromised, so that claims and counterclaims problems have plagued the industry. Methodology & Design Quantitative research design is used for the present explanatory research with data collection process of convenience sampling. Findings Findings concluded that hypothesis developed during literature review two ofthem are found to be significant and only one is rejected on the basis on analysis. Limitations First, we didn't look at the impact of industry disparities on the risk-performance linkages we discovered in our research. In a few industries, such relationships may alter due to differences in client wants and preferences, as well as differences in production or supply chain management procedures. Second, our research did not look into the causes of disparities in risk-performance connections amongst organizations, only that they exist. As a result, a more in-depth conversation is needed to determine whether plant-level decision makers recognize and account for these relationships when managing the supply chain. Recommendations Allocating precious resources to the mitigation of manufacturing risk (MR) and supply side hazaids in ordei to make better use of risk management resources. This element connects to the beginning, where we stated that a string of recent disturbs has prompted a renewed focus on supply chain risk and its impact on the performance for construction industry of Karachi. All the three risk are interconnected with each other, if one impacts the performance ofsupply chain so the second risk also impacts the performance level.
