(Reading University, 2024) Alfawzan, Rakan; Buddhi, Pathak
Given the difficulties and mutual reliance on each other, supply chain management is rather important for project management. Supply chain management becomes more difficult and demanding if the project is in a different area that is becoming international. Therefore, this paper addresses the optimisation of supply chain activities in the framework of international projects in Saudi Arabia in account of their emergence under the 2030 Vision. This study employs a mixed-methodology quantitative and qualitative approach using a snowball survey questionnaire with open-ended and close-ended questions to gather the difficulties, strategies, and supply chain resilience assessment. The survey questionnaire obtained responses from 103 participants. The findings revealed noteworthy common difficulties in the Saudi Arabian setting that exceeded other challenges. Furthermore, the findings highlighted typical strategies to get beyond these obstacles. Eventually, the resilience results revealed a flaw in Saudi Arabia's resilience farmwork knowledge. Therefore, the application of these research findings can be applied to the framework of international projects in Saudi Arabia to control supply chain operations effectively. However, The research is limited in the context of Saudi Arabia, which could be useless if applied in another area because of the different surroundings.
