Abstract

The relationship between logistics management in construction projects and how performance can be improved to help the construction project holistically is studied in this study using qualitative methods. A semi-structured interview session was conducted to ensure that the respondents were representative of relevant areas of responsibility. The data collected was analysed using a thematic analysis approach where at the beginning there were six (6) factors that had been identified that could improve logistics performance in construction projects. However, from these six (6) factors, only three (3) new main themes and three (3) sub-themes are new findings. The results of this finding can help related organizations to ensure that it can affect the performance of construction logistics or affect its achievements in Malaysia. It is hoped that the positive findings of this study can contribute to the acquisition of current research knowledge and will offer suggestions for future research.
