dc.description.abstractOutbound logistics channels are of crucial importance for an efficient construction materials logistics management and impacts on customer satisfaction. This study is aimed at understanding the out bound logistics channels of construction materials logistics management utilised in Nigeria manufacturing industries. A case study research approach and purposive sampling technique were adopted, sample comprising six construction materials manufactured and distributed within the North-central region of Nigeria. The study was descriptive using primary data collected through observations, direct measurement onsite and archival records of transactions. Data analysis revealed that all the manufacturing companies used multiple channels for the delivery of their products to customers, 79% of the distribution centers/warehouses and retailers store were located between 0 - 350 kilometers away from the manufacturers plants which is the recommended distance for road transport economies to be achieved. In addition, the findings established that the average transportation cost per average distances decreases as the distance increases, while the average transportation cost per average tons shipped increases with increases in average distance. The study findings would assist the practitioners and decision makers on how to achieve effective and efficient outbound logistics channels for construction materials.en_US
