Abstract
Rapid changes occurring in the world impact construction project planning, leading to an increase in cost and duration. Owing to the high number of uncertainties in construction projects, businesses struggle to adhere to established work schedules. Consequently, enterprises cannot monitor purchase orders for raw materials, leading to an increase in raw material prices and waste. This research devolved a model to deal with supply chains in Developing Countries, starting from the initial planning stage through the demand for raw materials to their storage on-site. The benefit of this model is that each change to the project (quantities of items - new items - canceling things - modifying raw materials pricing - etc.) will have its effect on the raw materials request calculated. The model validity was checked by entering data from an actual field project, and adjustments were made to the design, supply conditions, and material requirements.
