Abstract

The paper focuses on the service oriented sector of third party logistic service provider. The objective of the paper is to first identify various key performance indicators or metrics to measure and assess the performance of supply chains of third party logistic service providers in construction projects and to further study the interrelationship amongst them using ISM methodology.
