The research is exploratory in nature where a qualitative approach using the focus group interview was conducted to uncover the theme and issue on the subject research. The study has made several findings that contribute to research and supply chain practitioners that can help to improve engineer's contribution in the supply chain process and can be referred to as a business case to understand the knowledge of engineers in the supply chain in the manufacturing environment.
