Stratified purposive sampling was used to select the sample size. This was followed by the main cross sectional survey designed to collect the required data. Preliminary investigations was carried out by visiting two road construction projects over a period of two weeks to gain an understanding of the ways in which material flow management impacted on supply chain performance & subsequently on lead time of road construction project. This study was anchored on Simulation Theory and Goldrat's Theory of Constraints (TOC).
Secondly, to establish the relationship between material flows, supply chain performance and lead time of road construction projects in Kenya. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: First, to establish the influence of material flow and road construction projects' lead time in Kenya. This research was thus centered on establishing the influence of material flow management on the supply chain performance and subsequently the lead time of road construction projects in Kenya. In Kenya, several road construction projects have had time overruns in their completion, (KeNHA 2014). Construction supply chains encompass the Flows of Materials, Cash, Labor, Information, Plant, Equipment and Temporary Works that originate from a variety of different parties.
