Best Practices for Managing Supply Chain Challenges
Donna Laquidara-Carr, Construction Business Owner
Supply chain challenges are at levels not seen in decades. In the current study, 71% report moderate to severe delays in getting materials/equipment for their projects, which is causing problems in completing projects on schedule.
Contractors have been dealing with a chronic shortage of skilled workers for well over a decade, so many already have strategies in place to help address this issue. However, the recent intensity of supply chain challenges suggests that many are still figuring out their best strategies. To understand what they’ve learned over the last six months, the latest Civil Quarterly survey asked civil contractors to identify which strategies they use and then to rate the strategies that they consider to be most effective.
