Abstract
The purpose of this study was to analyze the supply chain integration factors on the
performance of the construction material producers with the supply of Addis Ababa
housing project. The supply chain integration concepts were summarized on the
information integration, internal integration, collaboration, quality of product and lead
time of production. By considering these concepts the researcher performed the study of
supply chain integration on the performance of production of construction materials in
SME in thermo site project. The study uses descriptive and explanatory research designs as
well as quantitative research approach were engaged in conducting the study. The study
used the sampling techniques of stratified random sampling and from the total population
size of one hundred eighty eight enterprises on the site. The researcher used the sample of
one hundred twenty eight enterprises which represent the seventy two for construction and
fifty six for manufacturing enterprises. From the total of 128 questionnaire distributed to
the enterprise 122 was filling and returned. By using SPSS software the supply chain
performance expressed by mean and standard deviation as well as correlation and
regression analysis was made. The result of the study showed there is a high correlation
between all variables and the relationship between the dependent and independent variable
was positive except that of lead time of production. With this result the researcher conclude
that information sharing, internal integration and quality of product have positive and
significant effect on the supply chain performance but collaboration and lead time of
production have positive effect on the performance of construction material producers
rather not significant roll. Based on the findings the following issues are recommended
enterprises and housing project built simple computerized mechanizes like telegram,
What’s-App mobile application in order to effective information sharing. More over future
studies will consider other variables not included in this research as well as all enterprises
found in the city.
