| dc.description.abstract | Efficient logistics management plays great role in the success of construction projects. Nevertheless, poor logistics management in construction projects affects the project productivity in several ways. The objective of this research was to identify impacts of construction logistics management in selected building construction projects in Addis Ababa and develop alternative solution to reduce those impacts and to increase productivity of construction projects. The research identified the top ten impacts of poor logistics management and based on the 180 respondents(project managers, consultants, site engineers, foremen and laborers) from 20 construction projects of grade one building contractors. The primary data was collected by using closed questionnaire; while secondary data was collected from literature. The gathered data was analyzed using statistical software SPSS and SCOR metrics was employed to evaluate logistics management performances. As per the respondents responses, the top ten impacts of poor logistics management in building construction projects were, delays (increased project time) , cost overruns (unnecessary cost to the system), loss of project efficiency, difficulty in checking the quantity of materials, ordered materials never arrive on time , fraudulent activities, queuing of trucks(unwise use of trucks) , transportation and environmental issues(emissions in the environment), poor quality construction and material loss (damage). The result obtained from SCOR metrics showed that, logistics management performance in building construction projects has been poor. | en_US |
