Abstract
Previous studies have conceptually mentioned the important roles of lean practices (LP) (in design, planning, operations, and safety) in improving logistics collaboration (LC) and construction supply chain performance (SCP). However, there is a lack of studies exploring their relationships in a structural model. Thus, this study is conducted to provide theoretical insights into how LC and construction SCP can be improved by considering LP. The Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) results show that LP in design and planning has positive impacts on internal LC and SCP while LP in operations and safety has significant impacts on internal and external LC. The results also reveal that internal and external LC positively impact the construction SCP. Based on the research results, we also propose managerial implications for construction managers to improve SCP.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
