Introduction
The construction industry is an important sector for the Philippine economy but many construction companies still suffer from operational inefficiencies in the area of materials management. Construction materials form a major cost component of any project. Hence, effective materials management is crucial for timely procurement, efficient inventory control and optimal utilization of resources. However poor materials management often leads to overstocking, higher inventory carrying costs, material deterioration, inefficient use of warehouse space and project delays. While existing research has confirmed the importance of materials management in enhancing project performance, only a few studies have examined the mediating role of Materials Planning and Control Systems (MPCS) in the relationship between Materials Management Efficiency (MME) and Overstocking Prevention (OP) within construction firms in Metro Manila. The aim of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effect of these variables using the Dynamic Capabilities Theory and the Just-in-Time (JIT) principles.
