520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Examines the implementation of supply chain management (SCM) in the construction industry. For many firms, adopting SCM is proving too expensive and problematic, with some lacking the conviction that supply chains can deliver an enhanced product at a lower cost. However, there are firms who are keen to make SCM a success. Article discusses the experiences of George & Harding, Mace and Galliford Try who have implemented SCM with varying levels of success. Key findings from these case studies include: contractors are experiencing great difficulty in getting their supply chain to measure performance; manufacturers and suppliers of materials are more ready to accept performance measuring, although subcontractors are reluctant; contractors cannot be sure if SCM is increasing profitability, but some remain optimistic about its potential.
