Abstract: This study aimed to analyse the importance attributed to critical success factors in supply chain management according to the market scenario (predictable, turbulent and very turbulent). The study was developed using a quantitative approach, operationalised through a survey applied to metal-mechanic companies in southern Brazil. The data obtained were subjected to descriptive statistics procedures and hypothesis tests. This was carried out to compare the results obtained for each scenario and verify whether the importance attributed to critical success factors in supply chain management varies as market turbulence increases. The results obtained validate the systematic literature review on critical success factors in supply chain management and indicate that the importance attributed to such factors increases due to market turbulence. This can be seen from the variation ranges of responses in each scenario (minimum and maximum assigned importance), the averages obtained and the results of the applied hypothesis tests.
