Abstract :
Asset/non-asset-based domestic and foreign
logistics conglomerates are introducing themselves as
project logistics experts for heavy equipment handling,
over-dimensional cargo (ODC) specialists, multimode
transport planners, and project documents handlers to
satisfy customer demand and reliability. They aim to
improve operational efficiencies and increase return on
investments to compete in a dynamic market of
Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC)
projects of Bangladesh through focusing on strategic, and
operational planning as well as control for sustainability
and growth. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate
the breakbulk handling process, multimode
transportation planning, route survey method, necessary
approvals, execution planning, essential tools, techniques,
and types of equipment for logistics operation. It
elaborates the dynamics of project-based logistics, and
the spiral affects how logistics can play a significant role
in EPC projects. In addition to this, the study identifies
external factors, market trends, and the potential barriers
which influence the overall performance of EPC
contractor. This study performs a series of qualitative
and quantitative analyses on secondary data that
encompassed few major logistic projects in Bangladesh.
The paper identifies opportunities to improve project
logistics performances in terms of planning, design, and
operations. The authors provided some recommendations
that would help the industry practitioners achieve a
higher level of productivity in project-based logistics.
Furthermore, the given iterative and efficient research
techniques would help the researchers contribute further
to this knowledge domain.
