Abstract: In practice, various supply chain management activities are performed in the form of projects. This study aims to identify major success factors for such supply chain management projects, with special focus on the roles of supply chain visibility and project flexibility. We adopted a mixed methods approach, comprising semi-structured expert interviews and an online survey. The findings from the interviews are used as a basis for developing a structural equation model, which is estimated with a PLS-SEM approach using survey data. We conclude that, besides excellence in project management, supply chain visibility and project flexibility are important success factors for supply chain management projects. Moreover, supply chain visibility's influence on project success is moderated by the degree of flexibility in the project.
