Description: Heavy equipment refers to heavy-duty vehicles that hold an important role in executing construction projects and production operations. The available literature lacks sufficient information to provide an understanding of the characteristics of the heavy equipment supply chain. The purpose of this research is to examine the heavy equipment supply chain in Indonesia and to identify barriers and opportunities. This research was conducted based on a two-stage research design, starting with qualitative interviews and followed by a focus group discussion. The heavy equipment supply chain shows unique characteristics of production, distribution, and utilization cycles. The findings from the analysis show typical problems faced by the heavy equipment supply chain in Indonesia are that it lacks communication and incentives.
