Impact of supply chain risks on the completion for time of rural road projects in Bangladesh

Abstract: The volume of rural road construction projects has increased over the last decade in Bangladesh though these projects are experiencing failure in terms of time for completion. Therefore, this study focuses on nine risk factors specifically in case of Bangladesh. The objectives are to examine and quantify the contribution of supply chain risk factors on completion time of rural road projects and to assess the prioritization of iden-tified risks. An insignificant number of researches have been performed on the effect of supply chain risks on completion time of rural roads in Bangladesh. To the best of authors’ knowledge, the three factors such as, upper contract price, prolong rainy season and time of monitoring have not yet been used as independent variables in any re-search. A linear model has been drawn and the proposed model shows that upper contract price, delay of the site handover, delay of site materials mobilization, change of scope and prolong rainy season cause time overrun, whereas, time of monitoring, delay in payment and delay in submission of contract schedule did not have significant effect on time. These findings will help the government of Bangladesh take the necessary actions to complete the projects on time.
