OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENT IN SOLAR EPC PROJECTS THROUGH SUPPLY CHAIN OPTIMIZATION

OPERATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT

The rapid expansion of the solar energy sector has intensified the importance of efficient project execution, particularly in Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects. This research investigates the role of supply chain optimization in enhancing operational efficiency within Solar EPC environments. Through analysis of industry practices, bottlenecks, digital interventions, and vendor coordination mechanisms, the study demonstrates that efficiency improvements in procurement, logistics, and inventory management significantly reduce project delays and costs. The findings suggest that digitalization, lean inventory strategies, multi-sourcing, and predictive analytics can increase overall project performance by 18–30%. The paper contributes to existing literature by presenting a structured framework for supply chain optimization in Solar EPC operations.
